Product Description: In the seventh adventure of Barsoom (or Mars, as we know it) Hadron of Hastor, native of Helium, and the warrior who is The Fighting Man of Mars, earns the enmity of Haj Osis, jed of Tjanath. Sentenced as a spy and condemned to suffer 'The Death', Hadron must prove that John Carter's warriors are not so easily destroyed. In Swords of Mars, the eighth adventure, we once again join John Carter himself.

Edgar Rice Burroughs' Martian series continues to delight lovers of fantastic fi ction with heroic deeds, hairsbreadth escapes, duels and battles, all set in a strange and alien landscape. The complete John Carter of Mars adventures are published by Leonaur.
Great series - plagued by typos in this edition This particular edition of the ERB Mars series is just horrible for typos - at a guess, it was OCR'd in from an earlier edition and run through a spell-checker but no proofreader ever laid human eyes on it. So 5 stars for ERB; 3 stars for the edition.
Leonaur Ltd. is publishing the definitive Edgar Rice Burroughs 21st century editions. Leonaur Ltd. is publishing the definitive Edgar Rice Burroughs 21st century editions. These usually contain 2 books of the different ERB major series in order - thus far John Carter, Pellucidar, and Carson of Venus. In the future, possibly Tarzan! These books are handsome and my rating is mainly based on this - the ERB fan knows best about the rest of it. This volume contains the 7th and 8th John Carter of Mars novels. In contrast to other series, the Mars books maintain a high standard of quality to the end.
