Boom! The voice of the signal gun rolled down through the screaming wind to the twelve warriors upon the roof. Boom. Twelve swords were raised above twelve brawny shoulders. Boom. Twelve keen edges severed the Martian flyer's complaining moorings, clean and as one. Propellers whirling, the great cruiser shot forward into the howling tempest as the brave men within challenged all the reckless caprice of Nature, for such is the courage of the warriors of Mars.
The winds of Edgar Rice Burroughs's Mars blow across a world where danger, daring, and adventure are the lifeblood of its untamed inhabitants. Here are magnificent cities glistening with barbaric splendor and peopled by the noble red men of Mars, savage, rampaging hordes of giant, multilimbed green men who roam the Martian plains, fierce beasts of prey whose hideous cries are the dreadful chorus of the red planet's night.
In Thuvia, Maid of Mars, Carthoris, son of the legendary John Carter, is accused of abducting the beauteous Princess Thuvia. To clear his name and to rescue the woman he loves, he must battle hosts of diabolical foes. Yet all seems lost when they fall into the hands of Tario, made ruler of Lothar, for he proposes to sacrifice them to his savage, beast-like god.
"Narrator Raymond Todd does a straightforward, no-nonsense reading....He handles the tongue-twisting Barsoomian names and places handily." --Audiobookstoday.com
