The second in the series, this book sees John Carter returning to Barsoom and ending up in their equivalent of the afterlife - or is it? There's lots of action and a ton of fighting, ending in a cliffhanger. The language may now seem old-fashioned but this pulp fiction adventure still amuses and ent...
Decent pulp sci-fi, but a bit too similar to the John Carter of Mars stories to make it seem like anything special.This is the start of the Carson of Venus series. After his spaceship misses Mars, it avoids crashing into the sun by luckily crashlanding on Venus.Fortunately, the air turns out to be b...
What did I learn about Tarzan? He's a homicidal maniac. If you have something he likes, prepare to die. He also loves to play "jokes" on others. Which usual scares the shit out of the neighboring tribes. Skulls appearing out of thin air and bodies falling from the sky are not jokes.
Good pulp sci-fi as John Carter finds himself on Mars fighting his way through the various tribes.The action keeps coming thick and fast, making it an enjoyable page turner to pass a few hours with.
The first in the John Carter books by Edgar Rice Burroughs, this is typical of his writing and pulp fiction of last century. Many chapters end on a cliffhanger as this was written for serialization. Action and adventure abound.I love this stuff: it's simple fun story-telling that doesn't pretend to ...
Again, John Carter himself is mercifully in the background. Again, the book concentrates on a couple. Tara is daughter of John Carter and Dejah Thoris. I’m intrigued as to where her name comes from. Given that her brother is called Carthoris, shouldn’t she be called Dejohn? Gahan, the jed (chief) of...
After the pummeling my nerves received from John Carter’s ego in Warlord of Mars, I approached this book with trepidation. Fortunately, I enjoyed it a lot more than the previous installment. Firstly, the focus isn’t on John Carter, but on the eponymous Thuvia of Ptarth and John Carter’s son, Carthor...
Okay. This one is a bit spoilery. So be warned. The villains, Matai Shang and Thurid, in this book have to be the stupidest so far. Have they learned nothing from the destruction their peoples suffered in the last book? Just give Dejah Thoris back to John Carter and he’d stop his hunt for you fro...
I found the start of this book is actually more disorienting than its predecessor but it passes once a familiar face turns up. The book gives you the impression that the author wasn’t into organized religion, though that’s maybe reading too much into it. We discover that Mars is in fact layered lik...
