A Princess of Mars

De: Edgar Rice Burroughs

Narrado por: Macleod Andrews

A Princess of Mars was the first book by Edgar Rice Burroughs to feature the character John Carter. It led to an 11-book series featuring his adventures and became the basis for the 2012 movie. Carter is a war-weary former military captain during the Civil War who is inexplicably transported to Mars. He quickly (and reluctantly) becomes embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions among the inhabitants of the planet.

I great story made better by out of this world narration!

E.R.B. Best know for his authorship of the Tarzan series, and much better series The Martian Tales is given a serious upgrade by a new voice actor! Move over Matthew McConaughey! We have a new voice for true southern gentleman. I’d love a revision of all of the Martian Tales with McLeod. Keep up the great work! And thank you for your contribution to preserving classic stories!

Jaddak of Thark!

What a wonderfully written sci-fi. It is over a century old and still holds up well. The pacing is face and sometimes a bit disorienting, but it makes up for it in the interesting storytelling and world building

A Princess of Mars

I read this book when I was 13 years old and came across the Martian series of Edgar Rice Burroughs in Audible and decided to listen to it. Enjoyed it a lot even if it seems a little more for the age group that I was when I read it the first time.

Perfect narration

Accent and performance suited the story and character perfectly. Captivating story, though squarely in the romantic adventure and wish fulfillment category. Still, some highly compelling science fiction and adventure concepts that aged better than the social aspects.

Excellent loved it!

This was a much better story than I thought it would be. Edgar Rice Burroughs was an amazing author. He know how to write well and to keep you engaged. I don’t like some of his themes that come across as somewhat racist 100 years later, but it is a well told story. I loved the narrator reading the story. Phenomenal job! I loved his Virginian accent.
