1930
A science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. This installment in Burroughs' Barsoom series follows the adventures of Hadron of Hastor, a young Martian warrior, as he embarks on a daring quest to rescue Sanoma Tora, a kidnapped princess. The story is set against the backdrop of a richly imagined Martian society filled with political intrigue, complex social structures, and fierce battles. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Hadron as he becomes entangled in the search for Sanoma Tora, who has been taken to the mysterious city of Jahar. The opening chapters depict Hadron's determination, fueled by both love and the honor of his bloodline, as he navigates the challenges posed by enemies and the formidable creatures of Mars. While he faces obstacles such as accusations from her wealthy father and the treachery of rival suitors, his resolve to win Sanoma Tora's heart drives the narrative forward. The early tension hints at the intense action and adventure that await as Hadron seeks to prove his worth and save the princess from an uncertain fate.
