The second book in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ beloved Barsoom series, The Gods of Mars was first published in All-Story magazine in 1913. John Carter returns to the red planet only to find himself caught in the sinister theocracy of the Valley Dor and the brutal fighting pits of the Holy Therns, battling to reunite with his beloved Dejah Thoris.
More darkly plotted than its predecessor, The Gods of Mars confirmed the Barsoom series as essential reading for fans of planetary romance. Download this free public-domain EPUB at Better Gutenberg.
