Books like Under the moons of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Captain John Carter’s night in Arizona is abruptly interrupted when he is swept into the strange planet of Mars, called Barsoom by its inhabitants. There he encounters towering green warriors, sun‑bleached ruins, and feuding city‑states. Airships glide through a thin atmosphere while duels are fought below in ancient, sword‑wielding combat. Stranded and fighting for survival, Carter’s journey across the planet’s diverse landscapes—from polar regions to a deadly river—forces him to face ancient secrets and decades‑long lifespans. This collection brings together the first three books of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Barsoom series—*A Princess of Mars*, *The Gods of Mars*, and *The Warlord of Mars*—which chronicle Carter’s unexpected arrival, his hair‑raising adventures, and the revelations he encounters from pole to pole.
