 | | Part of the premise of the Mars books is that John Carter wrote the manuscripts of the books and delivered it to an earthman to publish for him, just like Tarl Cabot did. | | | As the Mars books have been the inspiration for a number of other science-fiction books, then it is no big surprise that Norman may have also been so inspired. | | | In the second Mars book, The Gods of Mars, John Carter returns to Mars and journeys to the forbidden lands of the gods of Mars, seeking Dejah Thoris. |

| | Barsoom series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Although loosely inspired by astronomical speculation of the time that pictured Mars as a formerly Earthlike world now becoming more inhospitable to life, Burroughs' Barsoom tales never aspired to anything other than exciting escapism. | | | The less intense gravity of Mars compared to Earth gave him demigod-like strength. | | | His "death" actually represents leaving his inanimate body behind on Earth while he travelled about Mars in an identical body. |

| | The odwar was absent, having gone to the palace of the Warlord, but his major-domo summoned the slave, Kal Tavan, who had witnessed the abduction of Sanoma Tora and grappled with one of her abductors. | | | Science, literature, art and architecture are in some of their departments further advanced upon Mars than upon Earth, a remarkable thing when one considers the constant battle for survival which is the most marked characteristic of life upon Barsoom. | | | Probably greatly to his surprise and unquestionably to his embarrassment, a man who had been an assistant in Phor Tak's laboratory presently developed a substance which dissipated the rays of the new weapon, rendering them harmless. |

| | Lowell’s telescope magnified Mars more than 600 times, and even so, all he was able to witness was a fuzzy target. | | | The personal saga of Carter was completed in The Gods of Mars (1918) and The Warlord of Mars (1919), both serialized in All Story Magazine in 1914. | | | Prolonged examination of the red planet through the eye of a telescope commonly led to eyestrain, and most astronomers turned to cameras around the turn of the century. |

| | Burroughs also wrote popular science fiction/fantasy stories involving Earthly adventurers transported to various planets (notably Barsoom, Burroughs' fictional name for Mars), lost islands, and into the interior of the hollow earth in his Pellucidar stories, as well as westerns and historical romances. | | | The Gods of Mars (1918) (Project Gutenberg Entry:http://gutenberg.net/etext/64) | | | As a matter of fact, although I had never written a story, I knew absolutely that I could write stories just as entertaining and probably a whole lot more so than any I chanced to read in those magazines." |

| | Writers like Ray Bradbury and scientists like Carl Sagan have acknowledged that Burroughs' Martian tales were the wellspring from which their own careers arose. | | | With his opening trilogy - considered one of the landmarks of science fiction - Burroughs created a vast and sweeping epic. | | | In eleven books Burroughs takes the reader all around the Red Planet (and even to Jupiter), while the action and excitement never let up. |

| | It is sometimes hard to give a good answer to that, but I think the simple truth is that Edgar Rice Burroughs could always tell a good yarn. | | | That should give you some idea of their author's attitudes (I really don't think that ERB could ever have subscribed to the idea of the equality of women). | | | He makes of Barsoom (the Martians' own name for their planet) a lively and fascinating place, where princesses can be won by great fighters, where honor is truly a fighting matter, and the adventure never stops. |
