Description

Tara of Helium is swept by storm to Bantoom and the Kaldanes, then into Manator where captives fight as living pieces in jetan. Gahan of Gathol tracks her through Barsoom's cruelest game. Chessmen bleed; a princess and a jed stake their lives on the board. Burroughs's Martian adventure of heads, arenas, and a love that will not quit the match.

Author

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875–1950) invented Tarzan and John Carter and then refused to stop inventing. Jungle, Mars, Pellucidar, lost cities: he built a pulp engine that made adventure unapologetic and wildly popular. Tarzan leapt from novels into comics, film, and merchandising until the ape-man became a global icon; Barsoom gave science fantasy a desert romance and a swordsman's swagger.
