Edgar Rice Burroughs was an American author, best known for his creation of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic John Carter, although he produced works in many genres.
An interesting little tale, but one with no beginning or end. It seems like more of an excerpt from another book than a full tale of its own. While the story is incomplete, what is there is classic John Carter adventure.
Overall, not a full story and, while what was there was good, not highly recommended. I may go looking for the rest of this story at some point.
