Warlord of Mars / Thuvia Maid of Mars
Edgar Rice Burroughs - 1992
Warlord of Mars & Thuvia Maid of Mars John Carter of Mars, the Prince of Helium, returns in Edgar Rice Burroughs' famous series. In Warlord of Mars, Carter embarks on a relentless search for his wife, Dejah Thoris, and must pit his wits against the remaining Therns and the renegade black dator, Thurid of the First Born. In Thuvia, Maid of Mars, Cathoris, son of John Carter, embarks on a hair-raising adventure to save the beautiful Thuvia of Ptarth from treachery, mind manipulators and the green horde! The planet Mars itself, as always, plays a colourful and exotic role in these fantastical adventures.
Chessmen of Mars / Mastermind of Mars
Edgar Rice Burroughs - 1992
A freak storm on Mars throws Tara, Princess of Helium and beautiful daughter of John Carter, wildly off course after she embarks on an imprudent flight. Gahan, Jed of Gathol, her new admirer, takes off in pursuit and they soon find themselves in a land of bodies without heads and heads without bodies. In Chessmen of Mars, Edgar Rice Burroughs once again whirls the reader into an entertaining maelstrom of breakneck action. The second novel in this book, Mastermind of Mars, introduces us to Ulysses Paxton. Whisked from the battlefields of the Great War to Mars, Ulysses is pitched into a nightmare world of brain and body transference underpinned by the high adventure we expect from the John Carter of Mars books. Burroughs fans will not be disappointed by this third volume in Leonaur's ongoing series.
Synthetic Men of Mars / Llana of Gathol
Edgar Rice Burroughs - 1992
In Synthetic Men of Mars, Carter is joined in his adventure by Vor Daj, one of his courageous, young, ed warriors; together they venture into new lands in search of Rav Thavas-the mastermind of Mars-and perhaps the only one who can restore the beautiful Deja Thoris to health. Thavas, however, is preoccupied with sinister and dangerous plans of his own. In Llana of Gathol, the tenth adventure, Carter fi nds himself incarcerated in the Pits of Horz, with giant rats for company-then the dead rise from their tombs and the heroic exploits really begin.
