When a Victorian scientist propels himself into the year 802,701 AD, he is initially delighted to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty, contentment and peace. Entranced at first by the Eloi, an elfin species descended from man, he soon realises that this beautiful people are simply remnants of a once-great culture - now weak and childishly afraid of the dark. But they have every reason to be afraid: in deep tunnels beneath their paradise lurks another race descended from humanity - the sinister Morlocks.

Joe takes his first step into exile, and is promptly unable to breathe. This new Zone has a higher concentration of power, magnitudes denser. His first task is to survive, but mere survival is the least of his concerns. The Zone he has landed on has been in a state of constant war for thousands of years, a tug of war between the Elven and Dwarven societies. Not choosing a side is the same as declaring both to be your personal enemy. Though he is resistant, Joe reluctantly decides to go with the group he thinks will help him grow the most.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Very.... 1912.
It's vastly apparent when this was written. I get that for some more sensitive readers, it may be too entrenched in the racism of the day. I don't consider myself particularly sensitive to these issues, but as a Native American, there were several parts I struggled through. If you can get past those, however, it is well worth your time!

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.
