A Princess of Mars is Edgar Rice Burroughs's energetic planetary romance, sending John Carter from Earth to a dangerous and wondrous Mars. On Barsoom, he encounters alien societies, strange creatures, warlike codes, and Dejah Thoris, the princess whose fate becomes bound to his own. Burroughs blends adventure, romance, swordplay, and speculative imagination with relentless forward motion.
The novel helped define a tradition of science-fantasy adventure. A Princess of Mars is less concerned with hard science than with discovery, danger, loyalty, and heroic action in an invented world. Readers interested in pulp classics, early science fiction, fantasy adventure, and the roots of planetary romance will find a fast, vivid, and influential story of escape and battle.
