Publisher Description
For six long Martian months, John Carter has haunted the terrifying Temple of the Sun. Inside the walls of this mysterious revolving tower is his beloved wife, Dejah Thoris, the beautiful princess of Barsoom. Worse yet, his wife is trapped there with the lovely but wicked Phaidor, who has sworn to make John Carter her own—even if it means murder. How can Carter gain access to the Temple, whose doors swing open only once a year? And when he does find his way inside, will he find Dejah Thoris's welcoming embrace—or her corpse?

"Maybe I'm crazy, or maybe I have questionable tastes in literature, but even with the antiquated language I really enjoyed this book. Ned's language is sometimes tedious but if you pay attention to the details he paints a vivid picture of the new regions of the world of Barsoom. The "just in the nick of time" action can seem predictable, but even though you know something will save JC and DJ, you never know what it will be. And now on to Thuvia's story!"

John Carter in The Warlord of Mars Listener Reviews

" I love me some Woola. :D "

" Adventure, fantasy, romance, this book is amazing. "
— Becky, 2/3/2014 -
" After reading 3 books in this series, they all start to sound the same. They are well written, but don't think I'll read anymore at this point. "
— Alicia, 2/2/2014 -
" As is common with Burroughs, one must suspend disbelief and just accept the constant impossible coincidence and amazing stokes of luck. Just revel in the great swashbuckling adventure, for that is what makes it great. It is why after 98 years people still read it with joy! "
— John, 1/27/2014 -
" At this point in the series I know exactly what I am going to get with John Carter. The book has many flaws but it is also imaginative and exciting. I enjoyed this one more than the last because instead of focusing on an lackluster mystery (the obvious identity of his son) it is more nonstop action. Though I must say that it is incredibly frustrating that his princess is kidnapped multiple times. As before Burroughs introduces interesting characters and fantastical settings. A fun read. "
— Peter, 1/10/2014 -
" Well, this series got to be a little long in the tooth by the third book. I think the first book was the best, the second built on the first book but ended up just falling Carter as he ran around everywhere. I also enjoyed that the characters got a little more flesh on them in the first book, Tar Tarkas and Dejah Thoris in particular. In this book and the second, all the other characters not names John Carter just have brief interludes and are pretty shallow. "
— Stephen, 1/9/2014 -
" As with "A Princess of Mars", I can't be objective about this book. It is the final part of a three-volume book. The ending is a nice, satisfying wrap-up to the story told through "A Princess of Mars" and "The Gods of Mars". "
— Wayne, 1/6/2014 -
" I still like this siries they keep adding new types of.aliens now there are five different ones. "

" The Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs (1985) "
— Roman, 12/25/2013 -
" As I read this I realized where the Super Mario Brothers game franchise got the idea of the bad guy taking the princess after each battle scene, that got a little old. I'm invested now, I think I will finish reading the series. "
— Michael, 12/7/2013 -
" Always a good adventure!Very strong and descript characters. "

" say this about ERB: he could write fight scenes better than possibly any writer before or since. John Carter loves to fight, so ERB has ample opportunity to demonstrate his fight-writing skills. "
— Richard, 8/30/2013 -
" Another great offering in this classic series. I really enjoyed reading it as a kid, and I still read through the series from time to time just for the pleasure the books give me. "
— Michael, 7/24/2013 -
" I really enjoy reading E.R.Burroughs. Simple reading, yet you can see the imagination the man had. Brilliant!!!! "
— John, 6/4/2013 -
" Mindless fun watching the luckiest man in existence pull off the imposible several times a day. "
— Julia, 6/3/2013 -
" Warlord of Mars picks up right where the Gods of Mars leaves off. It was a quick, enjoyable read--probably my favorite of the first three Barsoom books. Again, we see another side and another people of Mars as John Carter fights to get Dejah Thoris and take her back home to Helium. "
— Tamara, 5/5/2013 -
" Adventure and danger lurking behind every martian corner. I really enjoyed it. "
— Erin, 12/23/2012 -
" This third installment of John Carter is much more swashbuckling that the rest. It's a tad shorter and the story is effectively one long chase scene though it still allows for a lot of fun. "
— Shane, 11/12/2012 -
" These books are still so much fun. Yes, you know John Carter is going to win every battle, but so what. The ebb & flow of the tale speaks to its original serialization. On to Thuvia, Maid of Mars. "
— Chris, 10/27/2012 -
" Better than The Gods of Mars. "
— James, 9/5/2012 -
" John Carter finds the yellow men of Mars. Rescues his wife and is named the Warlord of Mars. "
