About this audiobook
The first in Edgar Rice Burrough's Science Fantasy Barsoom series. A Princess of Mars introduces former Civil War captain John Carter, who through mysterious means finds himself on Mars amongst strange and savage alien beings. Gifted with great strength and agility because of his Earthborn heritage, John Carter's first great adventure on Mars sees him fighting against savage Green Martians and the other inhabitants of Barsoom in pursuit and in defence of Dejah Thoris, the beautiful red Martian and the books titular Martian Princess. Full of swordplay and daring feats, this book and subsequent titles are noted as early inspiration by many later science fiction authors including Robert A. Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, and Ray Bradbury.
Narrated by Michael Ward.
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) had various jobs before getting his first fiction published at the age of 37. He established himself with wildly imaginative, swashbuckling romances about Tarzan of the Apes, John Carter of Mars and other heroes, all at large in exotic environments of perpetual adventure. Tarzan was particularly successful, appearing in silent film as early as 1918 and making the author famous. Burroughs wrote science fiction, westerns and historical adventure, all charged with his propulsive prose and often startling inventiveness. Although he claimed he sought only to provide entertainment, his work has been credited as inspirational by many authors and scientists.
