Warlord of Mars (version 2)

The third installment of Edgar Rice Burroughs's legendary Barsoom saga drops John Carter back onto the red sands of Mars, but this time the odds are grimmer than ever. Sentenced to death for the crime of returning from death itself, the Confederate veteran turned Martian warlord must do the impossible: race across an entire world to rescue his beloved Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium, before it's too late. From the frozen cities of the north to the temples of the false goddess Issus, Carter endures imprisonment, torture, and the schemes of enemies old and new. He outwits, fights, and seduces his way toward his wife, while a planet stripped of its ancient religion teeters between chaos and peace.
