The Gods of Mars

After ten years on Earth, Carter finds himself once more on Barsoom, deep in the forbidden Valley Dor. Martians believe the journey there leads to a blessed afterlife. Carter discovers what awaits them instead, and his determination to expose it makes him an enemy of the powerful Holy Therns.

With old allies and new companions, Carter fights his way across a world of deadly creatures, aerial battles, and ancient rivalries. But every danger stands between him and Dejah Thoris, the Princess of Helium.

The Gods of Mars is the second John Carter adventure, following A Princess of Mars. Edgar Rice Burroughs expands the world of Barsoom in a fast-moving tale of rescue, rebellion, and the courage to challenge what an entire planet believes.
