DESCRIPTION:
For six long Martian months, John Carter has haunted the terrifying Temple of the Sun. Inside the walls of this mysterious revolving tower is his beloved wife, Dejah Thoris, the beautiful princess of Barsoom. Worse yet, his wife is trapped there with the lovely but wicked Phaidor, who has sworn to make John Carter her own--even if it means murder. How can Carter gain access to the Temple, whose doors swing open only once a year? And when he does find his way inside, will he find Dejah Thoris welcoming embrace--or her corpse? --From the Publisher
John Carter risks everything to rescue his wife, Princess Dejah Thoris, from the clutches of his evil adversaries, but he is always just one step behind! His battles cover the face of the red planet, as his quest carries him ultimately to the mysterious northern pole. Will this civilization, submerged in ice, prove fatal to our hero? This is the third of eleven in the popular 'Martian' series by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

This book has several twists and turns in it, as expected for those who read the first two books.Like the two books before this, the author has created a superb mix of science fiction and adventure. The fast moving action in this book did cause me to read it much quick. Excellent End To An Excellent Trilogy Warlord of Mars is very exciting, and in my opinion, a return to form for the Barsoom series after Gods of Mars. I enjoyed GoM but felt it didn't live up to Princess of Mars. Warlord absolutely lives up to and rivals the first novel in terms of my personal enjoyment. This is my first reading of all of these stories. I had originally planned on stopping after the first three, as I heard they make a great trilogy, but the h
