Naked man fights four armed green giant!
Can't beat a story that starts out West in post-Civil
War and ends in Mars. John Carter looking for gold in the West with a partner,
who gets killed by Indians who chase Carter to a cave that Indians refuse
to go. Carter wakes up naked and facing a four armed green giant armed
to the teeth and not going to show mercy to this stranger who is lurking
at their nursery. The action does not slow down from there. It is Burrough's
first book and one of his best. Burroughs himself, had went West to look
for gold,too.Tom Boughan --This text refers to the cassette edition

The forerunner of the entire planetary/science
fiction genre
The similarities between all past and current
movie-book-media science fiction/planetary travel-explorer-warrior-savior
genre (especially films such as Star Wars, etc.) owe it all to The John
Carter on Mars series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Period. The plot, the creatures,
the technology, the characters, the passion, and especially the author's
imagination set the stage for George Lucas, Speilberg, Orson Wells, Independence
Day, et al. Period. --This text refers to the cassette edition of this
title.

GET THIS BOOK! Read the whole series!
John Carter, Dejah Thoris, Tars Tarkas, they
are all here! This is the totally unbelievable story of a man who got transported
to Mars basically, because he thought it would be cool to go, so he wished
it, and POOF, he's there. Then, there's the fact that the planet itself
and the life on it are also completely ridiculous. FORGET ALL THAT! Read
it to be swept up in one of the greatest adventure series of all time.
John Carter goes to Barsoom (Mars, to the Martians) rescues the most beautiful
woman in the universe and (later in the series) conquers an entire world
through the power of his will and the strength of his right arm. Handsome,
powerful heroes, beautiful half naked captive princesses just panting to
be rescued, Villians, so evil you want to go back in time to strangle their
parents, Big ugly friends, (What are you laughing at, remember Chewbacca?)
strange beasts, stranger aliens, wierd science, epic battles, betrayals,
great reunions. This one's got it all. The best of Burroughs' body of work,
the most action packed series from the true master of the action story.
Edgar Rice Burroughs is the creator of Tarzan. Don't ever pick up his work
expecting an intellectual workout. Just get in and hang on for the ride!

intriging on an out of this world experiance..
The concept of being transported to Mars by an
out of the body experiance or being lifted to another place is a masterpiece
of wisdom by Burroughs considering his time period of life.. I read this
book as a nine year old, and have started my son on the entire series last
year.. he says "WOW" this is deep...
