    'The Gods of Mars' is a science fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs and it was printed in a complete book form in 1918. The main characters in this novel are John Carter and Carter's wife Dejan Thoris. After the long deportation on Earth, John Carter returned to his beloved Mars. But Dejan Thoris, the woman he loved, had disappeared. Now he was confined in the famous Eden of Mars. This book also holds most probably the first-ever epic air battle between flying battleships. The Black Men of Mars are aggressive democrats who eat the white men and kidnap white women to turn into slaves. They worship an old bat who calls herself the Goddess Issus. John Carter narrates the Black Men as having characteristics that are handsome in the extreme and says their bodies are spiritual. John Carter makes two new friends, Thusia the Red Maid, who likes him so much she wants to be his slaves and Xodar the Black Pirate who is pure awesomeness and the best character. Most of the first three quarters of this book are one exhausting battle scene after another or the capture of the protoganìst and his friends and their escaping. They battle, they are captured, and escape several times. In the last quarter they do escape and their captivity again. The ending is another big battle.

    Esta es la historia de Bradley después de que saliera del Fuerte Dinosaurio en la costa oeste del gran lago que está en el centro de la isla. El cuarto día de septiembre de 1916, partió con cuatro compañeros, Sinclair, Brady, James y Tippet, para buscar en la base de la barrera de acantilados un punto por el que éstos pudieran ser escalados. A través del denso aire caspakiano, bajo el hinchado sol, los cinco hombres marcharon en dirección noreste desde Fuerte Dinosaurio, ora hundidos hasta la cintura en la exuberante hierba de la jungla, poblada por miríadas de hermosas flores, ora cruzando prados descubiertos y llanuras parecidas a parques antes de zambullirse de nuevo en los tupidos bosques de eucaliptos y acacias y gigantescos helechos con copas rebosantes que se agitaban suavemente a treinta metros sobre sus cabezas. A su alrededor, entre los árboles y en el aire, se movían y agitaban las incontables formas de vida de Caspak. Siempre los amenazaba alguna criatura temible y rara vez sus rifles tenían descanso, pero en el breve lapso de tiempo que habían vivido en Caprona se habían vuelto insensibles al peligro, de modo que caminaban riendo y charlando como soldados un día de marcha en verano.

    Debían ser poco más de las tres de la tarde cuando sucedió: la tarde del 3 de junio de 1916. Parece increíble que todo por lo que he pasado, todas esas experiencias extrañas y aterradoras, tuvieran lugar en un espacio de tiempo tan breve; tres meses. Más parece que he experimentado un ciclo cósmico, tantos cambios y evoluciones en las cosas que he visto con mis propios ojos durante este breve intervalo de tiempo, cosas que ningún otro ojo mortal había visto antes, atisbos de un mundo pasado, un mundo muerto, un mundo desaparecido hace tanto tiempo que ni siquiera quedan restos en los más bajos estratos cámbricos. Oculto en la derretida corteza interna, ha pasado siempre inadvertido para el hombre más allá de aquel perdido trozo de tierra donde el destino me ha traído y donde se ha sellado mi condena.Estoy aquí y aquí debo permanecer.

    Esperábamos al señor Tyler sénior de un momento a otro. El último vapor de Honolulú había traído la información de la fecha de llegada prevista para su yate, el Toreador, que ahora traía veinticuatro horas de retraso. El secretario del señor Tyler, que se había quedado en casa, me aseguró de que no había ninguna duda de que el Toreador había zarpado según lo prometido, ya que conocía a su jefe lo bastante bien para estar seguro de que tan sólo un acto de Dios sería capaz de impedirle que hiciera lo que había planeado hacer. Yo también era consciente de que el telégrafo del Toreador estaba sellado, y que sólo se utilizaría en caso de extrema necesidad. Por tanto, no había otra cosa que hacer sino esperar, y esperamos. Discutimos sobre el manuscrito y aventuramos algunas suposiciones referidas a él y a los extraños acontecimientos que relataba. El hundimiento por un torpedo del barco en el que Bowen J. Tyler Jr. viajaba a Francia para unirse al cuerpo de ambulancias norteamericano era bien sabido, y por medio de un cable a las oficinas en Nueva York de los propietarios yo había podido establecer que una señorita La Rué se encontraba en efecto entre el pasaje. Aún más, ni ella ni Bowen aparecían mencionados en la lista de supervivientes: tampoco se habían recuperado sus cadáveres.

    Al oír la detonación del arma de fuego, un marasmo de temores y aprensiones agónicos sacudió el espíritu de Clayton. Se daba perfecta cuenta de que el autor del disparo podía ser uno de los marineros, pero el hecho de haber dejado el revólver a Jane, junto con la circunstancia de tener los nervios de punta, le sugirió la morbosa certeza de que la muchacha se encontraba en grave peligro. Era posible, incluso, que estuviera defendiéndose frente a algún individuo o bestia salvaje. A Clayton le era imposible adivinar lo que opinaba aquel hombre extraño que le había capturado, pero saltaba a la vista que oyó el disparo y que de una u otra manera le afectó, ya que había apresurado el paso de un modo notable, hasta el punto de que Clayton, que avanzaba a ciegas tras él, tropezó una docena de veces mientras se esforzaba inútilmente en mantener su ritmo de marcha. El joven inglés no tardó en quedar desesperadamente rezagado. Temió volver a extraviarse irremediablemente en la selva y, para evitar semejante contingencia, avisó a voces al salvaje que le precedía. Instantes después tuvo la satisfacción de verlo aterrizar a su lado, procedente de las ramas de un árbol.

    Edgar Rice Burroughs, a native of the United States, wrote the book The Son of Tarzan. The story begins with Jack, the young son of Tarzan and Jane, enthralled with Ajax, the star of a trained ape performance, unaware of his father's brutal background. Paulvitch, Tarzan's former enemy who seeks revenge on the ape-man, has brought Ajax, who is actually Tarzan's lifelong buddy Akut, to London. Jack and Akut travel to Africa where they adopt the life of Jack's strong father after killing Paulvitch in self-defense. The Greystoke heir, who grows to maturity in the forest and acquires the moniker Korak, the Killer, befriends Meriem, an Arab waif who has been saved from a life of suffering in the village where her adoptive father lives. The appearance of evil men challenges the couple's beautiful jungle existence, but their plan to split them apart-and the dangers that follow-only deepen Korak and Meriem's relationship. How Tarzan and Jane will survive this jungle life? How will they both rescue themselves from this evil man? How was Paulvitch killed? What will happen next? These questions can cause curiosity in the reader's mind which can be solved after reading this book.

    A great surprise from Burroughs and from 1927. This is unlike anything else I've read from ERB. It replaces the fantasy and imagination that made him famous with an unexpected authenticity and attention to detail. And both an anger and compassion. A very good early "red indian" pulp novel written by a man who used to hunt them, and who had the courage to say it was wrong and to say something important about in the midst of the pulp. (Jonathan Ammon) About the author: Edgar Rice Burroughs, (born September 1, 1875, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.-died March 19, 1950, Encino, California), American novelist whose Tarzan stories created a folk hero known around the world.Burroughs, the son of a wealthy businessman, was educated at private schools in Chicago, at the prestigious Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts (from which he was expelled), and at Michigan Military Academy, where he subsequently taught briefly. He spent the years 1897 to 1911 in numerous unsuccessful jobs and business ventures in Chicago and Idaho. Eventually he settled in Chicago with a wife and three children; he began writing advertising copy and then turned to fiction. The story "Under the Moons of Mars" appeared in serial form in the adventure magazine The All-Story in 1912 and was so successful that Burroughs turned to writing full-time. (The work was later novelized as A Princess of Mars [1917] and adapted as the film John Carter [2012].) The first Tarzan story appeared in 1912; it was followed in 1914 by Tarzan of the Apes, the first of 25 such books about the son of an English nobleman abandoned in the African jungle during infancy and brought up by apes. Burroughs created in Tarzan a figure that instantly captured the popular fancy, as did his many tales set on Mars. The Tarzan stories were translated into more than 56 languages and were also popular in comic-strip, motion-picture, television, and radio versions.In 1919, in order to be near the filming of his Tarzan movies, Burroughs bought an estate near Hollywood (at a site that would later be named Tarzana). He continued to write novels, ultimately publishing some 68 titles in all. During World War II he became a correspondent for the Los Angeles Times and at age 66 was the oldest war correspondent covering the South Pacific theatre. (britannica.com)

Norman is the supposed son of the Frenchman de Vac, once the king's fencing master, who has a grudge against his former employer and raises the boy to be a simple, brutal killing machine with a hatred of all things English. His intentions are partially subverted by a priest who befriends Norman and teaches him his letters and chivalry towards women.Norman leads the largest band of thieves in all of England at age 19. None can catch or best him. In his hatred for the king he even becomes involved in the civil war, which turns the tide in favour of de Montfort. In another guise, that of Roger de Conde, he becomes involved with de Montfort's daughter Bertrade, defending her against her and her father's enemies. She notes in him a curious resemblance to the king's son and heir Prince Edward.Finally brought to bay in a confrontation with both King Henry and de Montfort, Norman is brought down by the treachery of de Vac, who appears to kill him, though at the cost of his own life. As de Vac dies, he reveals that Norman is in fact Richard, long-lost son of King Henry and Queen Eleanor and brother to Prince Edward. The fencing master had kidnapped the prince as a child to serve as the vehicle of his vengeance against the king. Luckily, Norman/Richard turns out not to be truly dead, surviving to be reconciled to his true father and attain the hand of Bertrade.
