Mass Market. Condición: Very Good. Abbet, Bob - Cover Painting Ilustrador. Second Printing. 220 Pages. This book is the February 1969 Second Printing. Very light, barely noticeable, wear to front cover edges. Pages 215 thru 219 have a 2 ½ inch closed tear. No other defects noted. Edgar Rice Burroughs was gifted with a limitless imagination. With it he created an entire culture for a vast planet-many races, many peoples, strange creatures and stranger plants, an entire history stretching back through eons of time, and extending itself into the future with scientific inventions only dreamed of even in our own time. His imagination was coupled with an ability to write startlingly graphic prose, vivid with color and excitement, seething with action and rich with the barbaric splendor of bygone ages. In this book, Tara of Helium, tbe Warlord's beautiful and spirited daughter, is carried away by tbe vast winds of a violent Martian storm. Tara brings her small one-man flyer down safely enough-but she is stranded in a strange part of Barsoom, where magnificent rykors--beadless bodies--work like cattle at the mercy of their pitiless masters, the kaldanes--creatures which are all bead and no body. And this is not all, for in trying to escape from tbe kaldanes Tara is captured by the city of Manator wbere she becomes the prize in the Martian game of chess, jetan-played with living pieces-and played to the death. Contents in 22 Chapters: Tara in a Tantrum, At the Gale's Mercy, The Headless Humans, Captured, The Perfect Brain, In the Toils of Horror, A Repellent Sight, Close Work, Adrift Over Strange Regions, Entrapped, The Choice of Tara, Ghek Plays Pranks, A Desperate Deed, At Ghek's Command, The Old Man of the Pits, Another Change of Name, A Play to the Death, A Task for Loyalty, The Menace of the Dead, The Charge of Cowardice, A Risk for Love, and At the Moment of Marriage.

Mass Market. Condición: Very Good. Abbet, Bob - Cover Painting Ilustrador. Second Printing. 160 Pages. This book is the February 1969 Second Printing. Very light, barely noticeable, wear to front cover edges. No other defects noted. Edgar Rice Burroughs was gifted with a limitless imagination. With it he created an entire culture for a vast planet-many races, many peoples, strange creatures and stranger plants, an entire history stretching back through eons of time, and extending itself into the future with scientific inventions only dreamed of even in our own time. His imagination was coupled with an ability to write startlingly graphic prose, vivid with color and excitement, seething with action and rich with the barbaric splendor of bygone ages. In this book, Ulysses Paxton (late of the U. S. Army and long an admirer of John Carter) finds himself in the bands of that extraordinary scientist-surgeon Has Thavas of Barsoom. Renamed Vad Varo, the former U. S. Army Captain is trained by Has Thavas as an assistant in the "transfer of life" operations for which the master mind is famous. Vad Varo witnesses one such transfer-the wicked old mind of Xaxa, Jeddara of Phundahl, into the young and lovely body of a nameless victim, while the mind of victim number 4296-E-2631-H is now housed in the body of an ancient crone. When Vad Varo brings 4296-E-2631-H to life he discovers she is Valla Dia and falls in love with the spirit and mind of the girl prisoned in the l000-year-old body that had been Xaxa's. Incredible dangers and adventures follow as Vad Varo, determined to restore Valla Dia to her proper form, battles his way through weird countries and savage peoples-until at last he meets with John Carter, Warlord of Mars, and brings ValIa Dia safely to her home in Duhor. Contents in 14 Chapters: The House of the Dead, Preferment, Valla Dia, The Compact, Danger. Suspicions, Escape, Hands Up! The Palace of Mu Tel, Phundahl, Xaxa, The Great Tur, Back to Thavas, and John Carter.
