Sometimes the first three books are referred to as a trilogy as the first two books have cliff hangers. Of course we know this is not the end due to the number of book written.

Thuvia, Maid of Mars isn't your typical Burroughs' science fiction novel. Although it shares many of the elements that Burroughs' books usually have, in this novel, Burroughs goes out of his box with some new inventive elements that come to life. ... more

| 3. Pellucidar |
|
By: Edgar Rice Burroughs
Publisher: BiblioBazaar
February 18, 2007
This review is for the audio book version of this novel that was read by Patrick Lawlor. I had listened to the first book in this series, At the Earth's Core (MP3 CD) (Pellucidar), with my 11-year old son and we liked it and decided to follow up with this book, which is the direct sequel. This had the same reader and he used the same characterizations as in the first book, which made for great continuity... more

| 5. Tarzan of the Apes (Signet Classics) |
|
By: Edgar Rice Burroughs
Publisher: Signet Classics
August 05, 2008
This book takes place in an alternate universe, just a little more strange than the was in 1915. Suspend your belief, and any sense of political correctness, for a bit and you'll enjoy the guilty pleasure of what pulp fiction is all about, more similar to Conan the Barbarian of Robert E. Howard in feel than the Maltese Falcon by Hammett... more

| 6. 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

| 7. The Return Of Tarzan (1915) |
|
By: Edgar Rice Burroughs
Publisher: Kessinger Publishing, LLC
October 17, 2007
Despite the immense success that "Tarzan of the Apes" was for ALL-STORY in 1912, when Edgar Rice Burroughs got around to submitting the greedily requested sequel to the same magazine a few months later, it was roundly rejected. Editor Thomas N. Metcalf suggested that the story lacked "balance", and Burroughs promptly took offered it up to the apparently less-discriminating people at Street & Smith... more

| 8. Llana of Gathol |
|
By: Edgar Rice Burroughs
Publisher: Ballantine Books
January 12, 1977
"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
