A Princess of Mars [Spark Classics]

AMERICAN CIVIL WAR veteran and Virginia gentleman John "Captain Jack" Carter, beset by Indians who have murdered his prospecting partner, dies in an Arizona cave. Or does he? Before long he finds himself on another world, performing incredible leaps and feats of strength in the low gravity, sword fighting ferocious six-limbed Martian natives, and romancing the daughter of the most powerful ruler on the planet. There is no shortage of action, adventure and heroism in this gripping alien tale, which despite its anachronisms remains charming and entertaining to this day.
