Tara and Gahan are each Barsoomian royalty, residing in two
prominent cities, Helium, and Gathol. Hoping to align the cities
and enjoy the advantages of a romantic union, Gahan wishes to marry
Tara. However, Tara does not reciprocate this love. After rejecting
the engagement, Tara sets out in her flying ship. When she flies
into a turbulent storm, Tara crashes her ship in an unknown
territory. Unharmed but still in danger, Tara is forced to run from
her ship to escape the wild animals of the area, falling into a
trap. Kidnapped by Kaldanes, a group of Barsoomians with large
heads and six crab-like legs, Tara must find a way to save herself
before her captors achieve their plan of eating her. Meanwhile,
perturbed by her disappearance, Gahan sets out to find Tara. But
when he runs into the same storm Tara crashed in, his ship goes
down, leaving him in a similar predicament. Through stealth, charm,
and cleverness, Tara and Gahan are able to escape with their new
friend, Ghek. When they find themselves in an isolated city, the
trio are trapped once again, and this time, they'll have to win a
violent and deadly game to reclaim their freedom. Continuing the
legacy of the mighty John Carter, The Chessman of Mars depicts a
new generation's adventures on the thrilling planet of Mars. With
imaginative prose, romance, and adventure, Burroughs' The Chessmen
of Mars still fosters an exhilarating reading experience nearly
one-hundred years after its publication. This edition of The
Chessmen of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs features a new,
eye-catching cover design and is printed in an easy-to-read font.
With these accommodations, The Chessmen of Mars caters to a modern
audience while preserving the original wonder and adventure of
Edgar Rice Burroughs' work.
