Black Amazon of Mars

By: Leigh Douglass Brackett

Narrated by: Phil Chenevert

This audiobook is pulp: Non-stop action, impossible odds, unspeakable evil. Gotta love it!

John Sark is the hero who was raised by animals (like Tarzan) in the temperate, twilight zone of Mercury, then captured and civilized. He's a mercenary on Mars now, dealing with humanoid Martians and their extremely nasty pre-humanoid race enemies.

The fights are brutal and frantic yet detailed enough to bring you right into the midst of the action; the suspense is real and tingling. A wonderful listen.

this is (original) Star Wars

It's Leigh Brackett, she wrote the best episode(s) of the original Star Wars. There's a reason why there are so many versions.

Wonderful story

But for goodness sake, 'talisman' is one of the most common words in the story, please learn how to pronounce it!
