"John Carter - A FANTASTIC read!" according to Kristi A. Jones. I'm a bit surprised at how much I ended up enjoying the John Carter book series. Not because they aren't good - they are! I say that only because they were described as a "young person's story" and I actually began reading them out of curiosity after seeing the John Carter movie by Disney (which I really enjoyed, by the way). I would highly recommend them all! The John Carter character is a perfect mix of bravery, chivalry, humor, and ego. I find the books exciting, engrossing, and fun to read. Brave men, strong (and 'incomparably beautiful') women and a Mars backdrop makes for a great escape into some . Charles J. Kravetz said Exciting, adventurous, imaginative.. This is the third book in the series of 11. It finds our hero, John Carter, awaiting the barsoomian year out, in hopes of finding Dejah Thoris still alive. This book has several twists and turns in it, as expected for those who read the first two books.Like the two books before this, the author has created a superb mix of science fiction and adventure. The fast moving action in this book did cause me to read it much quicker than I planned. Once I started, I had a difficult time putting the Kindle down to take a break. Rather than repeat what was in the other books, this one takes us further around Barso. Excellent End To An Excellent Trilogy Warlord of Mars is very exciting, and in my opinion, a return to form for the Barsoom series after Gods of Mars. I enjoyed GoM but felt it didn't live up to Princess of Mars. Warlord absolutely lives up to and rivals the first novel in terms of my personal enjoyment. This is my first reading of all of these stories. I had originally planned on stopping after the first three, as I heard they make a great trilogy, but the high this story left me with leaves me wanting more, despite a definite end to this particular story. Thuvia, Maid of Mars. you're next!
This is the Audiobook CD Library Edition in vinyl case. In this continuation of the saga of the amazing world of Barsoom, the love story of Carter and Dejah Thoris--the red-skinned, oviparous princess--unfolds. For six long Martian months, John Carter, Prince of Helium, has haunted the terrifying Temple of the Sun. Like all the tales in the series, fantasy and adventure combine in a style as malleable as dreams, exotic and dangerous and unending. How can Carter gain access to the temple, whose doors swing open only once a year? And when he does find his way inside, will he find Dejah Thoris' welcoming embrace--or her corpse? The upcoming film John Carter of Mars, set to hit theaters in 2012, is based on the first three books in this classic series. Worse yet, his wife is trapped there with the lovely but wicked Phaidor, who has sworn to make John Carter her own--even if it means murder. Inside the walls of this mysterious revolving tower is his beloved wife, Dejah Thoris, the beautiful princess of Barsoom. A Princess of Mars, The Gods of Mars, Warlord of Mars
