| Summary |
"The Warlord of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a science fiction novel written during the early 20th century. This thrilling installment continues the adventures of John Carter, Prince of Helium, as he embarks on a desperate quest to rescue his beloved Dejah Thoris from the clutches of nefarious enemies. Set on the red planet of Mars, known as Barsoom, the story unfolds amidst ancient temples, treacherous creatures, and political intrigue among warring factions. The opening of "The Warlord of Mars" introduces John Carter in a tense and perilous situation near the Temple of the Sun, where he has been lurking for months, anxious about the fate of Dejah Thoris, who lies imprisoned within. The story builds upon his past conflicts, involving his enmity with Thurid, a dark warrior whose jealousy adds layers of complexity to the plot. As Carter follows Thurid into dangerous territories, he overhears a plot with Matai Shang, the Father of Therns, planning to exact revenge on him while holding Dejah Thoris. This sets the stage for a thrilling tale of love, betrayal, and courage as Carter navigates the perils of Martian society and battles against the forces that threaten his family and future.
