From the Publisher

The first time I ever went to Tarzana, California, I walked down Ventura Boulevard, noticing that all of the buildings were really ugly. Then I arrive at my destination: a small house, set back from the street, with a beautiful tree shading the entire front yard. Inside, the air was cool and everything was polished wood, especially the incredible, gigantic desk. That's where he worked. It was awesome.

Edgar Rice Burroughs had a huge California ranch, and the land eventually became a town, named for Burroughs's most famous character. Burroughs created one of the few heroes everyone knows, and at that desk, he took Tarzan to exotic lands, had him face bizarre creatures and endless, exotic challenges. Those adventures spirit the reader away to a timeless time of action and heroism. And sitting in that office, I was a permanent convert. For me, and for countless others, the legend will never cease. And that's as it should be.

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of the top three books in the series, Déc 16 2000
Par Michael Martinez (Houston, TX United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
The incomparable Dejah Thoris is injured and only the dangerous scientist Ras Thavas (The Master Mind of Mars) can save her life. So John Carter, the Warlord of Barsoom, sets out with a single companion, Vor Daj, to bring Thavas back from the Toonolian Marsh in time to operate on the dying princess.

Alas! Nothing goes right, and Carter and Daj are forced to make the most difficult choices of their lives. All Barsoom is threatened by Thavas' latest mad scheme, and it falls to Vor Daj to keep a lid on things until Carter can bring all his power to bear against the threat. In one of the best race-against-time stories ever written, the reader is forced to turn page after page to keep pace with all the setbacks, double-crosses, and unbelievable strokes of good fortune.

Along the way, the author pokes a little fun at a few long-cherished social conventions and hooty-tooty groups. But the most resounding comment of all is the statement that true friendship knows no boundaries, and that love is solidly based in friendship. This is simply a great and thoroughly enjoyable book to read.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Classic Pulp. Wonderful concept., Jui 8 2000
Par Blake Watson "===Blake===" (Winnetka, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
A likeable, action-packed book--perhaps not as memorable as the author's Tarzan series, but admittedly, unquestionably =different=. That is to say, ERB's writing style isn't really different, and his pacing is typically breakneck, but it is a different topic, with some original ideas.

What's also fun, nearly 80 years later, is to read the thinly-disguised social commentary that ERB inserts into his work. One of the Tarzan books includes a section on a society destroyed by income tax--a new idea in ERB's time, and one that he personally was affected by. This book contains a short section on how streets should be engineered to speed traffic along. It isn't exactly a description of a freeway, but it's darned close!

Anyway, like all great pulp, a sense of adventure pervades and you're left both satisfied with the story and wanting more. They just don't write 'em like this anymore

5.0étoiles sur 5 These John Carter books are non-stop action!!!, Sep 1 1999
Par Un client
If you enjoy books where there's never a dull moment, with lots of fighting & romance, then you've GOT to read the John Carter series! This particular book isn't really about John Carter, but one of his friends. It's about these ugly, artificial "people" who overthrow the "mad scientist" who created them. An exciting, fun story, with a large cast of characters complete with good guys, bad guys, weird guys, and (as always with Burroughs), at least one hot babe!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Despite the odd title, one of the best of the Mars novels
I found this book very engaging. Of course, you have to make allowances for the writer's style-- the book was written in the late 1920's. Read more
