Publisher Description

For six long Martian months, John Carter, Prince of Helium, 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’ welcoming embrace—or her corpse?

In this continuation of the saga of the amazing world of Barsoom, the love story of Carter and Dejah Thoris—the red-skinned, oviparous princess—unfolds. Like all the tales in the series, fantasy and adventure combine in a style as malleable as dreams, exotic and dangerous and unending.

"These books are lots of fun. I've read the first three in succession, but will take a break before moving on to book 4....the constant appearance of life-saving characters or objects in the "certain doom" situations is getting a bit tiresome. "

— Marc (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Before writing Tarzan, Burroughs wrote the beginnings of his Mars series, which many view as the better work.”

    " Once again, another simply fun adventure book. Not my favorite compared to the Gods of Mars but it certainly wasn't terrible. And it is a nice conclusion to the "John Carter POV" story arc. Currently reading/listening to Thuvia of Mars and I have to say I am enjoying the 3rd POV story line. It's a nice change for the series and I look forward to continuing it. "

    " Finally! John Carter and his Princess of Helium are united after the trials and battles take them from one Pole to the other. The Peoples of Mars are united as never before, the fighting between the four distinct nationalities has ceased and become allies. "

    " Doesn't matter what color foe you throw at John Carter, as long as it breathes and bleeds he will find a way to dominate and destroy and still make it home in time for dinner. Seriously though, green, red, white, black, and yellow men? Come on now.... "

    " Better than the second, not as good as the first. The plot has been pretty standard through the first three books. I'm going to keep reading the series, so it's good enough to do that...and sometimes with series books, that's all you can ask for. "

    " 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. "

    " In which John Carter solves all mars's problems using grit alone. I'm a bit tired of it at this point, but its still an OK story... just, perhaps the series is running a bit long. "
