STARWARP CONCEPTS RELEASES FOR FEBRUARY 2012
A PRINCESS OF MARS
John Carter of Mars, Book 1
Author: Edgar Rice Burroughs
Illustrator: Eliseu Gouveia
Introduction by John Gosling
ON SALE FEBRUARY 21, 2012
The classic science fantasy novel by the creator of Tarzan, featuring an introduction by author John Gosling (Waging the War of the Worlds) and six lush illustrations by artist Eliseu Gouveia (The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, The Phantom, Infiniteens).
Captain John Carter thought his days as a fighter were over. The South had lost the Civil War, and as a soldier now without a battle to fight or a cause to believe in, he journeyed west in search of a new life.
But not even Carter could have expected that his new life would begin with his death in the Arizona desert, and his inexplicable arrival on the planet Mars. Or that he would find love in the eyes of the beauteous Dejah Thoris, princess of Helium.
A prisoner of the giant, green-skinned warrior race called the Tharks, Dejah Thoris is meant to be used as a pawn in the ongoing war between the Tharks and her people, the red Martians--unless the gentleman from Virginia takes sword in hand to free her . . . and thus unite a divided world.
Once more, John Carter has a cause to fight for--and this time, a love to win, as well. . . .
CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR A PRINCESS OF MARS:
"A Princess of Mars is two-fisted action, with magnificent world building and sweeping story arcs that make it a truly great antecedent in the world of science fiction."--Biblioholic
"Burroughs is a wonderful storyteller, and it's impossible not to get caught up in the savage beauty of Mars."--The Silver Key
About the Author:
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was the world-renowned author of numerous adventure stories. The serialized story "Under the Moons of Mars"--which was published in 1912 and introduced readers to John Carter--was his first professional sale; the story was collected in 1917 and published under a new title: A Princess of Mars. Although Carter was featured in nine more Mars novels, Burroughs's most famous character remains Tarzan of the Apes, who starred in over two-dozen novels.
