It's a while since I read this but from memory I enjoyed all this series. ( )

The second book in Burroughs' Martian series. I think I liked it better than the first. There's nearly non-stop action. ( )

John Carter, after heroically saving Barsoom ends up missing, and hence has a bit of an earthly stay.

Making it back to Mars, he finds he has been gone for ten years, but is soon back in the thick of it and back to back with Tars Tarkas.

Yet again there is his Princess to track down, a nasty cannibal monster religion to overturn, and as something is rotten in the state of Helium, mass battles to be fought alongside the descendants.

More stirring Martian adventure.

For a series as old as this one is, this is still a timeless example of sword (but not sorcery) fantasy. The technology is dated, but if you read this as a fantasy novel, not sci-fi, its as good as most of the fantasy produced today. Noble heroes, great quests and interesting monsters make this a good read. ( )

Volume 2 of the swashbuckling adventures of John Carter of Mars. ( )
