**This deluxe collection contains five complete novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs, including the original illustrations ** Barsoom, a name that has inspired the imaginations of readers for a century. Edgar Rice Burroughs created his vision of a dying Mars to serve as a backdrop for the adventures of John Carter, one time Earthman. These tales of swashbuckling intrigue, war, and romance have served as the foundation of such diverse careers as those of Carl Sagan and George Lucas. Resurrected Press has collected the first five of these tales, A Princess of Mars, The Gods of Mars, The Warlord of Mars, Thuvia, Maid of Mars, and The Chessmen of Mars in one volume to entertain yet another generation with these marvelous stories.
