The book does have some inventive and original ideas, including an autopilot and collision detection device for Martian fliers and the creation of the Lotharians, a race of ancient martians who have become adept at telepathic projection, able to create imaginary warriors that can kill, and sustain themselves through thought alone. Fortunately, though, Carthoris is every bit the swashbuckler that his father is. Princess Thuvia of Ptarth has been kidnapped by the vile Prince Astok of Dusar -- an abduction which nearly causes a world war on Barsoom. Young Carthoris, in his quest to free his beloved princess, runs across deserted cities, a forgotten kingdom, banths (10-legged Barsoomian lions), ethereal warriors, much swordplay, giant white apes, and on and on. . . . highly recommended.

Autorenporträt
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American author best known for creating the iconic character Tarzan. He was a pioneer of the adventure genre, particularly in science fiction and fantasy. Burroughs's work often explored themes of heroism, the struggle between civilization and nature, and the complexities of human relationships. His most famous series, starting with ""Tarzan of the Apes"" (1912), introduced readers to a wild, heroic figure raised in the jungle. Burroughs also created the Barsoom series, featuring the adventures of John Carter on Mars, which became highly influential in the sci-fi genre. Throughout his prolific career, Burroughs wrote more than 70 novels and numerous short stories, captivating audiences with his imaginative storytelling and vivid characters. Despite facing criticism for his writing style, his work has endured, inspiring countless adaptations in film, television, and comics. Today, he is regarded as one of the foundational figures in early 20th-century popular literature.
