The third installment in ERB's legendary Barsoom series. John Carter has exposed the fraudulent Martian religion, and now there are many who want him to pay. Among them are the defrocked and black-hearted Thurid, and the bitter patriarch Matai Shang. These two villains concoct a plot that will not only plunge the Martian governments into perpetual chaos, but will condemn the plucky Dejah Thoris to a life of cruelty and misery. ¶ Continuing the Martian/Barsoom saga with creative characters, inventive environments and non-stop action, Warlord of Mars brings the Barsoom series to a satisfying, albeit tentative, close.
