John Carter

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

There are 11 books in the series.
The first one I ever read was Thuvia, Maid of Mars.

1. A Princess of Mars
2. The Gods of Mars
3. Warlord of Mars
4. Thuvia, Maid of Mars
5. Chessmen of Mars
6. Mastermind of Mars
7. Fighting Man of Mars
8. Swords of Mars
9. Synthetic Men of Mars
10. John Carter and Giant of Mars
11. Llana of Gathol
12. John Carter of Mars

At the moment I'm re reading Heinlein's "The Number of the Beast" and there are plentiful references to the Barsoom series. In fact two of the leads are named Deety, short for Dejah Thoris and Zeb John Carter. LOL

I saw the John Carter DVD for sale at Target the other day. I'll have to have a look see.

If you can't find them, they are all available as e-books on Gutenberg.

"Captain Zeb John Carter" if you please. "Beast" was last week's book. A few weeks back it was "Stranger In A Strange Land". This week is "To Sail Beyond The Sunset". I don't have a complete RAH set, but do have most of them. RAH is always good for another read when I run out of new books.

I've got his complete works. I re read them regularly.
Have you read "Tramp Royal" and "Grumbles from the Grave"?

No I haven't Nettie, and the bookshelf is getting a bit full.

The one RAH I try to keep an eye out for is "The Past Through Tomorrow: Vol. 2", preferably the late 70s NEL edition to match the Vol. 1 which I have.

Hi JJnettie

Would you know whether all 11 Martian stories listed were written by ERB? I keep on encountering information on the net and elsewhere of people debating whether some of the latter stories were actually written by ERB? I seem to get different messges so I was wondering what was your understanding of the situation? It seems pretty clear that the early stories were indeed by ERB but the debate seems to be around the latter stories.

His son wrote one of the stories.
All the info is on Wiki.

Hooked. Watched the movie tonight on Apple TV and thought that it was superbly produced and most entertaining. I'll be reading the whole series I think. I'd forgotten all about Edgar Rice Burroughs.
