The Gods of Mars
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Barsoom · No. 2
Ten years after his adventures on Mars, as told in A Princess of Mars, John Carter returns to the red planet and finds himself a prisoner in the Valley Dor, from which no mortal has ever returned.
Swords and sorcery, friendship and betrayal and the Black Pirates of Barsoom are just some of the obstacles he must face and overcome to be reunited with his beloved Dejah Thoris.
Only the evil Goddess of Life Eternal, Issus, will have her revenge at all cost.
