Edgar Rice Burroughs was mediocre at best in all of his vocations. That is, until he professionally took up the pen and typewriter, after which he speedily became quite remarkable. Nowadays, Burroughs is mostly known for having created Tarzan of the Apes, but, omigosh, the man has accomplished so much more than that. For three decades he penned some of the greatest, most exhilarating adventures of... more

| 2. John Carter Of Mars - Warlord Of Mars & Thuvia, Maid Of Mars | 
|
By: Edgar Rice Burroughs
Publisher: CreateSpace
September 17, 2008
This isn't a single novel, but two novellas - one that was originally co-written with ERB's son as something to be adapted to an illustrated format, and a secondthat seemingly opened a new continuity, one that was never continued.
The first, "John Carter and the Giant of Mars," picks up elements from the earlier "Synthetic Men." One of those vat-bred humanoids has mastered part of the... more

| 3. Swords of Mars: (#8) (Martian Tales of Edgar Rice Burroughs, No 8) | 
|
By: Edgar Rice Burroughs
Publisher: Del Rey
July 12, 1985
Swords of Mars is one of my favorites of the Martian Tales. Although late in the series, it has all the elements that made Burroughs a classic in the field:
1.
It is a John Carter novel. He is still the best character in the series.
2.
It does not suffer from the same artifacts of serialization that you see in some of the other Mars books. The chapters flow together... more

| 5. Llana of Gathol |
|
By: Edgar Rice Burroughs
Publisher: Nel
1987
"Llana of Gathol" is an excellent volume in the Barsoom series of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and the last published during ERB's lifetime. The case could be made that this is not merely the last novel (or collection of novellaes as some would have it), but the literary apex of the John Carter of Mars series. Although it is divided into four main sections, and the chapters bear the earmarks of serialization... more

| 6. Edgar Rice Burroughs Science Fiction Classics: Pellucidar, Thuvia Maid of Mars, Tanar of Pellucidar, the Chessman of Mars, the Master Mind of Mars |
|
By: Edgar Rice Burroughs
Publisher: Booksales
1992-03
In the 1980s Castle Books put together a simple anthology of Edgar Rice Burroughs tales that are set from the deepest core of Earth to the plains and deserts of Mars. I think the purpose of the book is to give an overview of the breadth of Burroughs because these are certainly not his best tales.
Rather than A Princess of Mars which I think is his best work in the Mars series, we are... more

By: Edgar Rice Burroughs
Publisher: Classic Books Library
February 23, 2007
We begin with a bit of wartime sea action. Us versus the Germans sort of thing, as a desperate group of men take over a German submarine.
It is just the thing they need to get to a Lost Island via an underwater passage and establish a base called Fort Dinosaur! Those left are forced to work together, whether German or not.
The whole island appears to almost be an evolutionary... more

John Carter starts out mourning the loss of his beloved Dejah Thoris, trapped by some bad guy at the end of the last book with an evil tempered competitor for John Carter's affections.

On... more
