Publisher's summary

For six long Martian months, John Carter has haunted the terrifying Temple of the Sun. Inside the walls of this mysterious revolving tower is his beloved wife, Dejah Thoris, the beautiful princess of Barsoom. Worse yet, his wife is trapped there with the lovely but wicked Phaidor, who has sworn to make John Carter her own - even if it means murder. How can Carter gain access to the Temple, whose doors swing open only once a year? And when he does find his way inside, will he find Dejah Thoris's welcoming embrace - or her corpse?

John Carter does our again - even better

Such classic space opera shouldn't be missed. John Carter meets new Martians and has to battle new foes and old. He makes it back to Barsoom (Mars) but is thwarted in finding home and family. In the mean time he has to solve a world of problems from false gods to evil villains that just won't stay down. Classic wiring style and beautiful language you don't hear much anymore. Well worth the listen as Scott Brick has style in reading that is a pleasure to listen to.

Emoting

If you enjoy hearing your mayor reading the Sunday comics you might enjoy Mr Bricks reading novels. I don’t. He has a good voice and would be successful if he would just read. Dripping emotion ruins the story.

A solid performance

This is one of those books in which the reader's performance is better than the book itself. With that said, the book is a solid piece of century old pulp adventure story telling. This book falls within the first three books of the Barsoom stories, written when Burroughs was both fresh and still interested in the stories.

Far-flung and delightfully engrossing

Quite an enthralling story, stretching from the south to the north of Mars, the villains and heroines and masterful heroes, chivalry and noble values, a masterpiece, whose interest, relevance, and enjoyment hold true today, every much as when it was first written long ago.

The final book of the first Barsoom trilogy

This was the third book of the initial Barsoom / John Carter series. It concludes the introductory trilogy. If the series ended here, I believe everyone would have been happy with the situation. As it was, popular demand and publishers had other ideas. This series ran for several more volumes, while entertaining, were not quite as original as these first three books.

This volume concludes John Carter's desperate search for his missing wife, Dejah Thoris. He, quite literally follows her abductors from one pole of Mars to the other. Along the way he gains allies and enemies, all the while battling incredible beasts and hordes of men. All while staunchly remaining true to his goal and his principles.

The author is remembered best for two of his many creations, Tarzan and the Barsoom series. This is well deserved. If you like adventures, romance, exotic worlds, and virtuous heroes, you owe it to yourself to read this series. I cannot recommend any more highly.
