Resumen del Editor

News of the passing of a dear friend spurs John Carter, Warlord of Mars, to investigate a series of perplexing mysteries in the forbidding icy northern reaches of Barsoom. The enigmas only deepen as he embarks upon a journey to the far-flung treasure city of Gathol with his spirited daughter Tara and an unexpected stowaway. Ensnared in an insidious conspiracy that reaches from his early years on the Red Planet back into the dim recesses of the ancient past, John Carter and his trusted longsword are now all that stand in the way of a dreadful menace that threatens the existence of all life on Barsoom.

Also includes the bonus novelette Victory Harben: Stormwinds of Va-nah by Ann Tonsor Zeddies, as the Swords of Eternity Super-Arc hurls wayward scientist Victory Harben to the world of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ The Moon Maid!

The first universe of its kind

A century before the term "crossover" became a buzzword in popular culture, Edgar Rice Burroughs created the first expansive, fully cohesive literary universe. Coexisting in this vast cosmos was a pantheon of immortal heroes and heroines - Tarzan of the Apes, Jane Clayton, John Carter, Dejah Thoris, Carson Napier, and David Innes being only the best known among them. In Burroughs' 80-plus novels, their epic adventures transported them to the strange and exotic worlds of Barsoom, Amtor, Pellucidar, Caspak, and Va-nah, as well as the lost civilizations of Earth and even realms beyond the farthest star. Now the Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe expands in an all-new series of canonical novels written by today's talented authors!

Swords of Eternity super-arc

When an unknown force catapults inventors Jason Gridley and Victory Harben from their home in Pellucidar, separating them from each other and flinging them across space and time, they embark on a grand tour of strange, wondrous worlds. As their search for one another leads them to the realms of Amtor, Barsoom, and other worlds even more distant and outlandish, Jason and Victory will meet heroes and heroines of unparalleled courage and ability: Carson Napier, Tarzan, John Carter, and more. With the help of their intrepid allies, Jason and Victory will uncover a plot both insidious and unthinkable - one that threatens to tear apart the very fabric of the universe....

The Swords of Eternity super-arc comes to our universe in a series of four interconnected novels:

Carson of Venus: The Edge of All Worlds by Matt Betts

Tarzan: Battle for Pellucidar by Win Scott Eckert

John Carter of Mars: Gods of the Forgotten by Geary Gravel

Victory Harben: Fires of Halos by Christopher Paul Carey

ERB would be proud

This novel was like seeing an old friend. ERB himself could have written this. I found myself grinning stupidly many times while listening to this book. If you enjoyed the original John Carter series, then you owe it to yourself to get this book ASAP. To quote a classic film, "Sir, Can have some more please?"


Highly recommended!

Gods of the Forgotten

This is amazing. As I listen it truly feels like ERB is at the helm (bravo). This return trip to Barsoom is very welcome and long overdue. If you are an ERB or a Barsoom fan..get this yesterday.

ERB would approve

John Carter was true to form. A lot of action and narrow escapes. A fun read.

Masterfully and reverently written

ERB has been my favorite author for almost sixty years and am somewhat of an amateur bibliophile of his writings. I was very impressed and greatly entertained, and finally emotionally satisfied with Geary Gravel's new John Carter novel, a response echoed by other reviewers. I am critical of most of the Burroughs pastiches and much "new stuff" does little for me, but not this story! This one literally brought these great characters (and some new ones) to vibrant life. Superbly structured and intelligently plotted, this is by far my favorite in this new series. This exceptional narrative has such an excellent narration that brought everything to colour. Nothing of anything written could possibly be true, but just like with Mr. Burroughs it became so real that the "real" world is vanished . That's the key to ERB that Geary gets better than most everyone.
