A Princess of Mars introduces former Civil War captain John Carter, who through mysterious means finds himself on Mars amongst strange and savage alien beings. Gifted with great strength and agility because of his Earthborn heritage, John Carter's first great adventure on Mars sees him fighting against savage Green Martians and the other inhabitants of Barsoom in pursuit and in defence of Dejah Thoris, the beautiful red Martian and the books titular Martian Princess. Full of swordplay and daring feats, this book and subsequent titles are noted as early inspiration by many later science fiction authors including Robert A. Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, and Ray Bradbury.

About Michael Ward
H. G. Wells (1866–1946) earned a reputation as “a prophet of his time,” thanks to groundbreaking classics such as The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds. Born into humble beginnings in Kent, England, Wells rose to become one of the most widely read and influential authors of the 20th century. In addition to his many short stories, Wells’s visionary themes continue to resonate, securing his legacy as a pioneer of science fiction and modern thought.
