This new tale, the third of the Martian series, is a continuation of the amazing adventures of John Carter of Virginia on the strange planet forty-three million miles from Earth. And such adventures! Battles with warriors (green men and red men) fifteen feet in height, and mounted on horses shaped like dragons; fights on airships and encounters with monsters - grim and terrible banths, fearsome white apes - and other foes in the bowels of the Earth, his only helper being Woola, the huge ten-legged Martian hound. After matching his wits with two of the most unscrupulous scoundrels on the whole planet, John Carter succeeds in recovering his wife, "a world's most beautiful woman." and is made Jeddak of Jeddaks, Warlord of Mars. It is a wild and fantastic tale - a triumph of imagination.
