Overview:
I hadn't read Edgar Rice Burroughs's works. I started his novel back several months ago. I just got finished with it today. The three related books are Princess of Mars, Gods of Mars, and Warlord of Mars.
The protagonist is ex-Confederate soldier John Carter and his adventures on the Red Planet. He is magically transported to Mars and begins an odyssey on a new world. John Carter fights, makes friends and falls in love. All in an epic telling. The writing is fast-paced and first person from John Carter's viewpoint.
The second book, Gods of Mars, is about John Carter's quest to win his wife back and put an end of evil practices of Martian theocrats who feast off the remains of the planet's ignorant masses.
Warlord of Mars continues John Carter's quest to free the Princess of Helium and the final battle on the northern polar region of Mars.
Recommend for Victorian Sci-Fi fans.
