Novel
A Princess of Mars
- by Edgar Rice Burroughs
- serialized in All-Story, February to July 1912
When I joined the Science Fiction Book Club in 1970, the Barsoom books were the first series I bought. I’d already read them at an earlier age, but how could I pass up the Frazetta covers? Now I admit there’s not much time travelin’ on Barsoom, so I won’t list all the books separately, but it seems to me that Captain John Carter traveled to a different Mars, either by traveling through time or traveling to a parallel universe. —Michael Main
Yes, Dejah Thoris, I too am a prisoner; my name is John Carter, and I claim Virginia, one of the United States of America, Earth, as my home; but why I am permitted to wear arms I do not know, nor was I aware that my regalia was that of a chieftain.
