The Warlord of Mars begins after the previous installment in the Martian series abruptly ends: John Carter's beloved princess Dejah Thoris has been imprisoned in the Temple of the Sun, whose rooms only revolve back to the entrance once every Barsoomian year. Now, Carter must mount a rescue to save the princess from certain doom.

The novel, a fast-paced and straightforward tale of swashbuckling adventure, is another solid entry in Burroughs' "swords-and-planets" corpus. It was originally serialized in four parts in All-Story Magazine before being published as a novel in 1919.

Perfect for readers who crave classic planetary adventure and swashbuckling heroics across alien worlds! Burroughs delivers another thrilling John Carter escapade filled with exotic Martian civilizations, desperate rescues, and non-stop action that will keep you turning pages late into the night. This timeless tale of courage and romance on the red planet remains a cornerstone of science fiction that continues to inspire readers and writers alike.
