Complete Barsoom Series by Edgar Rice Burroughs

The Complete Barsoom Series collects Edgar Rice Burroughs’s legendary eleven-volume saga of adventure, romance, warfare, and planetary exploration on the dying world of Barsoom—Mars. Beginning with A Princess of Mars, the series introduces John Carter, a former soldier who is mysteriously transported to Mars and becomes entangled in the struggles of its remarkable civilizations. His courage, strength, and loyalty eventually lead him to become the Warlord of Mars. Across the series, readers encounter vast Martian cities, rival kingdoms, ancient civilizations, terrifying creatures, aerial battles, strange technologies, secret societies, and dangerous journeys across an increasingly detailed alien world. The later novels broaden the story beyond John Carter, following characters including his descendants and other heroes whose adventures expand the mythology of Barsoom. From The Gods of Mars and The Warlord of Mars through The Master Mind of Mars, Swords of Mars, Synthetic Men of Mars, Llana of Gathol, and John Carter of Mars, Burroughs continually combines swashbuckling action with romance, mystery, imaginative science, and exploration. This complete collection showcases the enduring appeal of one of the foundational sagas of planetary romance and classic science fiction, making it an essential volume for readers fascinated by Mars, heroic adventure, and imaginative world-building.
