Story4.5 out of 5 stars 422
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?

After the fall of the American Ayatollahs as foretold in Stranger in a Strange Land and chronicled in Revolt in 2100, the United States of America at last fulfills the promise inherent in its first Revolution: for the first time in human history there is a nation with Liberty and Justice for All. No one may seize or harm the person or property of another, or invade his privacy, or force him to do his bidding. Americans are fiercely proud of their re-won liberties and the blood it cost them; nothing could make them forswear those truths they hold self-evident. Nothing except the promise of immortality…

In this classic fantasy novel from author Michael Ende, small and insignificant Bastian Balthazar Bux is nobody's idea of a hero, least of all his own. Then, through the pages of an ancient, mysterious book, he discovers the enchanted world of Fantastica, and only Bastian himself can save the fairy people who live there. Shy, awkward Bastian is amazed to discover that he has become a character in the mysterious book he is reading and that he has an important mission to fulfill.

As part of a ruthless program by the totalitarian government, ninth-grade students are taken to a small isolated island with a map, food, and various weapons. Forced to wear special collars that explode when they break a rule, they must fight each other for three days until only one "winner" remains. The elimination contest becomes the ultimate in must-see reality television. A Japanese pulp classic available in English-language audio for the first time, Battle Royale is a potent allegory of what it means to be young and survive in today's dog-eat-dog world.

Publisher's Summary
After prospecting for gold in Arizona, Confederate Civil War hero John Carter stumbles upon a mysterious cave - a portal, it turns out, to the ecologically endangered planet Mars. Once there, he finds his place with a tribe of green Martians, and his newfound powers in the reduced Martian gravity make him an important figure in their war against a rival tribe. At the heart of this conflict lies the beautiful Dejah Thoris, the kidnapped Princess of Helium. Rescuing her soon becomes paramount, for only she can help Carter save the dying planet he now calls home.
Combining elements of western adventure and science fantasy, Edgar Rice Burroughs’s epic romance influenced such future visionaries as Ray Bradbury, Carl Sagan, and James Cameron.
Revised edition: Previously published as A Princess of Mars, this edition of A Princess of Mars (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

A Classic brought to life
You may or may not have read this in your travels, but this classic story has been around for a long time. I have to say - listening to this narrated by James Patrick Cronin was much better than reading this book for me. He's a favorite narrator, but he really brings every story he does come to life, and this is no exception. Worth listening to!!

Amazing Narrator, Movie to book Listener
I love the narrator's voice, how it actually sounds like a southern gentleman. His different voices were noticeable but not perfect but that's fine. narrator had a fluidity to his reading that was really good!
The story it's self I came here after watching the movie and the book had a lot more interesting content and information where if I was to watch the movie certain scenes would make more sense. The romance between Dajah and Carter seems to make more sense in the mook than it does the movie, but still a little confusing.
Over all I really enjoyed this book and I wish this narrator would do the second book because I am not a fan of the other narrator's voices for Mr. John Carter.

He ends up falling in love with the the Princess of Mars, which of course is completely off limits, she is betrothed to someone else. As far as the society is concerned she is already married.

I wish I had read it before. ERB is a great writer. Hard to put down. Also, I listened to it on Audible. The narrators voice was very nice and he conveyed feeling and emotion well.
