A Princess of Mars
Author: Edgar Rice Burroughs
 
BOOK ONE IN THE MARTIAN SERIES
 
Death by slow torture seemed the inevitable fate of Captain John Carter, American soldier of fortune. Ferocious Apache Warriors closed in on him . . . then - inexplicably - they fled in terror. What had they seen? Suddenly John Carter realised that the barren landscape around him is not of this earth - neither are the gigantic green monsters that take him captive. But are these cruel and grotesque mutations the only inhabitants of this alien world?
Then a beautiful girl is taken prisoner . . .  and John Carter vows to risk all to save her and to know her people.
