Publisher's summary
For more than a century fans have been entranced by Edgar Rice Burroughs’ arid red planet of Barsoom, with its valiant city states and hordes of four-armed green Martians inhabiting the dead sea bottoms, all pitted against one another in a deadly fight for survival. But what was ancient Barsoom like in its prime, before the oceans evaporated and its proud peoples were forced to construct an atmosphere factory to keep themselves alive on a dying world? Find out the answer in Dark Tides of Mars: A Novel of Barsoom by Chris L Adams, the newest volume in the Wild Adventures of Edgar Rice Burroughs series!
Barsoom is dying, its atmosphere thinning with each passing year, the seas that once flourished upon its surface dried up eons ago. When warrior-scientist Dat Voga is asked to become Helium’s ambassador to distant cities that may provide a desperate chance at life for the people of Barsoom, he leaps at the opportunity. But even as this new hope dangles on a thread, a madman seeks to hasten the Red Planet’s doom—and Dat Voga is hurled headlong upon an odyssey across the chasm of Time itself!
THE WILD ADVENTURES OF EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS
In the Wild Adventures of Edgar Rice Burroughs series, today’s authors innovate and expand upon Burroughs’ classic tales of wonder in truly wild fashion, even moving his characters and storylines outside the bounds of canon to alternate universes!

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Sergeant Harry Kabutt has seen better days. He's been shot down, blown up, and tossed to the wayside by the corporations, left to rot in a ratty apartment in gang territory. His own limbs? Shredded, cut away, and left to rot on a mountainside. The replacement mods? Likely to fall apart or leave him to die of sepsis. No longer an operator of the feared APS mecha, Kabutt has hit rock bottom. But he's on foot, he's armed, and he's in serious pain…now it's time to take that pain and spread it around the mega-city of Artem. See who flinches first.

A Barsoom story with a twist
The first half of this book reads like any other Barsoom novel with fighting men, John Carter, political intrigue, a desperate mission that must not fail, mad science, and adventures aplenty. Then we detour to the crux of the story as two "modern day" Barsoomians are sent a million years into the past to when oceans still existed on the red planet. Now we move into the modern people adapting to live in a primitive world storyline.
If I am painting this book as disjointed and derivative, I don't mean to. The author understands Edgar Rice Burroughs storytelling style and mimics it well. In short, it's a fun read. My only issues with the book are some of the contortions that the author goes through to explain the "science" used in the time travel.... I would have been fine with less pseudo science and more getting on with the story. The bigger issue I had was realizing that this was not a complete story but that it ends on, essentially, a cliffhanger. These types of stories do best, in my opinion, as complete adventures, even if elements span several books... the main story feels best when it gets resolved. Still, I recommend this book as highly entertaining and wish the author all the best luck and speed with the next volume.

This Could Be a Lost ERB Manuscript!
This book reads like a lost manuscript of Edgar Rice Burroughs has surfaced seventy-three years after the great man passed. It embodies the flavor of ERB’s work from the narrative style, to the brilliant action scenes, to the tense little political intrigues and dialogues. It opens with the rulers of Helium having uncovered a threat to the existence of all life on Mars. The stores of radium which power all of their advanced technology are depleting and unless they find new sources to mine, Barsoomian civilization will grind to a halt. Yet, while there is life, there is hope, and Helium decides to send Dat Voga, a young scientist-warrior, as an ambassador to a distant city which historically had been a major producer of radium to work out an alliance. But as Dat Voga is about to learn, this city has problems of its own—problems that the emissaries from Helium cannot help but become involved in. Soon Dat Voga is fighting for his life, tiptoeing around a mad scientist, and—most importantly—visiting a place that not even John Carter has been—the ancient seas and civilizations of the red planet. And while the reader discovers wonder after wonder, the action never stops.
This is a remarkable book which I just couldn’t put down. Dat Voga is a hero ERB could have created, on an adventure that feels like a remarkably fresh product of the master-writer’s mind. Rumor has it that more books are coming and I can’t wait to read them.
