The Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs
The Warlord of Mars (1914) is the third of eleven JOHN CARTER novels from the pen of Edgar Rice Burroughs. It is a direct continuation of the first two in the series — A Princess of Mars and The Gods of Mars — and a reading of those earlier titles is absolutely essential before going into this one.
Here, Carter tries to rescue his princess, Dejah Thoris, from the clutches of some particularly nasty villains.
