| | 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 pretended to be anything other than exciting escapism. | | | The John Carter books enjoyed another wave of popularity in the 1970s, with | | | The novel tells of earthman John Carter who is mysteriously transported to the planet Barsoom (through a form of |

| | Each day we feature a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. | | | Explanation: "Yes, I have been to Barsoom again..." begins John Carter in Edgar Rice Burroughs' 1913 science fiction classic "The Gods of Mars". | | | Long after Burroughs' stories were published, Mars has continued to capture the imagination of science fiction writers as a popular location for extraterrestrial adventures. |

| | In eleven books Burroughs takes the reader all around the Red Planet (and even to Jupiter), while the action and excitement never let up. | | | With this combination of super science and swordplay, not only will Edgar Rice Burroughs' Martian tales provide thrills a-plenty, but you'll also discover that without Burroughs there probably never would have been Star Wars! | | | Pay your respects to Ras Thavas, the Master Mind of Mars, who will be happy to transplant your brain into the body of your choice ~ or maybe into the body of a giant ape! |
