In" A Princess of Mars," John Carter arrives on Mars for the first time, and works to win the heart of a princess and the respect of the warlords of his strange new world. In "The Gods of Mars," John Carter fights the dreaded Black Pirates and leads the Martians in a revolution against a terrifying cult that thrives on living sacrifices. And in "The Warlord of Mars," John Carter is faced with his most fearsome enemy yet: an evil that threatens to destroy the planet and everything he has grown to love.
