The Master Mind of Mars (Barsoom® Saga Book 6) Written by Edgar Rice Burroughs Cover art and frontispiece by Joe Jusko Foreword by Garyn G. Roberts and afterword by Henry G. Franke III Transported from the bloody trenches of World War I to the mysterious Red Planet of Barsoom, Captain Ulysses Paxton finds himself indentured in the laboratory scientific genius Ras Thavas. There, under his new name of Vad Varo, the Earthman assists in ghoulish experiments to transfer brains and organs from one living body into another—whether human or otherwise. But when the old and wicked crone Xaxa, Jeddara of Phundahl, exchanges bodies with a young and beautiful maiden named Valla Dia, Vad Varo must revive a motley crew of lab specimens—including a four-armed great white ape with the brain of a man—to escape Ras Thavas’ secluded island and correct the heinous wrong . . . or die in the attempt. A Fighting Man of Mars (Barsoom® Saga Book 7) Written by Edgar Rice Burroughs Cover art and frontispiece by Joe Jusko Foreword by David Weber and afterword by Henry G. Franke III Tan Hadron is just a lowly padwar who joined the service of Tardos Mors, Jeddak of Helium, so he might wield his sword nearer to the side of John Carter, Warlord of Mars. After the beautiful, noble-born Sanoma Tora cruelly rejected Tan Hadron’s appeal of love due to his low rank and social standing, he might have left her to her fate when she was kidnapped. But Tan Hadron, though of poor means, is not just any man, for he sets out selflessly to pursue her abductors to the very ends of Barsoom. To achieve his goal, he must confront dangers as daunting as any faced by his revered Warlord, for the wicked Jeddak of Jahar and a madman with the ultimate superweapon stand in his way. Swords of Mars (Barsoom® Saga Book 8) Written by Edgar Rice Burroughs Cover art and frontispiece by Joe Jusko Foreword by Michael Kogge and afterword by Henry G. Franke III A new threat has arisen on Barsoom—the powerful assassins’ guild of Zodanga, capable of toppling entire governments with the stroke of a sword. Now John Carter, Warlord of Mars, seeks to infiltrate the guild’s corrupt den in disguise, intent on wielding only his sharp blade and keen mind to assail its highest ranks from within. When fate places him in the employ of one of the guild’s targets, he finds himself tangled up in a perilous game betrayal and murder between two cold-hearted, rival inventors. But the power-hungry scientists may prove to be the real threat, as their ambition for world conquest has led to the abduction John Carter’s beloved Dejah Thoris, who has been stolen away to Thuria—Barsoom’s nearer moon! The Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library For the first time ever, the Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library presents the complete literary works of the Master of Adventure in uniform hardcover editions.

Edgar Rice Burroughs: Master of Adventure The creator of the immortal characters Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars, Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the world’s most popular authors. His timeless tales of heroes and heroines transport readers from the jungles of Africa and the dead sea bottoms of Barsoom to the miles-high forests of Amtor and the savage inner world of Pellucidar, and even to alien civilizations beyond the farthest star. Mr. Burroughs’ books are estimated to have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and they have spawned 60 films and 250 television episodes. Joe Jusko: Visionary Artist Joe Jusko is among today’s most acclaimed fantasy, pin-up, and comic artists. His work has been featured on book and comic posters, and on the much-praised 1992 Marvel Masterpieces trading cards. Jusko is a recipient of myriad industry honors, including a Certificate of Merit from the Society of Illustrators and a 2001 Chesley Award nomination. Fittingly, he was born on September 1, sharing his birthday with Edgar Rice Burroughs. Jusko’s longtime love of Burroughs’ work continues to inspire him in illustrating the Authorized Library and bringing the author’s creative vision to life.
