Again we find ourselves on Mars with John Carter and he's on a mission to rescue his wife Deja Thoris. It requires a journey across the world and he encounters new races, new creatures and meets up with some old friends along the way. There are countless battles and near death experiences that John Carter escapes with unbelievable good luck, but that's par for the course for this series Unlike the previous book in this series, Gods of Mars, John Carter is journeying alone in this novel and I do think the pacing suffers slightly for it. John Carter isn't the most interesting character in his own series, so I missed the big cast of characters that supported him in the previous novel. Their minor appearances in this one just wasn't enough for me. However, all in all, it's a great, fun read. John Carter was the first real hero. Not a super hero..but a man with an agenda that was unwittingly thrust upon him. It is a shame that his presence fades through the series but that does nothing to take away the excitement of the Martian adventures. Burroughs was a genius. He created the first pulp heroes and laid a heavy foundation for all others to follow. Though his work is quirky, to the point and leaves little room for mind blowing intellectual filler he was a master storyteller. John Carter, The Mucker, Tarzan and a myriad of others forged a path to the future. This is the third book in the authors series starring Virginian John Carter's adventures on Barsoom (Mars). As usual, it is mostly action and fight sequences as, following on immediately from the end of the previous book, Carter covers a lot of ground once again to rescue his princess Dejah Thoris. I did feel there was a bit more plot in this one though, which will keep me (slowly) working my way through the series. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Not sure how much I really need to recall these individual books in the series. Just remember that this was the mad chase for love in the Yellow North. ( )
