Greed pulls the archaeologist Matt Carse into the forgotten tomb of the Martian god Rhiannon and plunges the unlikely hero into the Red Planet's fantastic past, when vast oceans covered the land and the legendary Sea-Kings ruled from terraced palaces of decadence and delight.

Leigh Brackett's sword & planet adventure The Sword of Rhiannon is a short novel but a favorite among aficionado's.

Planetary adventure fiction in the Burroughs mode, but Brackett was a better writer than Burroughs. A fantasy novel with swords and old gods, but set on Mars; you might call it science fantasy.
