Historia
"A Princess of Mars" (1912) is a science fantasy novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of his Barsoom series. Full of swordplay and daring feats, the novel is considered a classic example of 20th century pulp fiction. It is also a seminal instance of the planetary romance, a sub-genre of science fantasy that became highly popular in the decades following its publication. Its early chapters also contain elements of the Western. The story is set on Mars, imagined as a dying planet with a harsh desert environment.

Historia
In this, the second book of Burroughs' Amtor series, Napier travels over perilous mountains and through forests, inhabited by creatures more terrifying than any nightmare, in search of the lovely princess Duare, who has been snatched from his arms. In the Room of the Seven Doors, Napier faces the choice of his life. Six doors led to terrible deaths—the seventh is the door to life. But for him, this door too leads only to new dangers on a planet whose beasts and men are more frightful than any that stalk his native Earth.

And with Orando goes Tarzan of the Apes—but a strangely changed Tarzan, who now believes that he is Muzimo, a spirit or demon who was Orando’s ancestor. But there are traitors among Orando’s people. And in the village of the Leopard Men is Kali Bwana, a young American woman who has come to Africa to find a missing man. Only Tarzan can save her...

David Innes is a mining heir who finances the experimental "iron mole," an excavating vehicle designed by his elderly inventor friend Abner Perry.

A great safari comes to Africa to make a movie, struggling across the veldt and through the jungle in great ten-ton trucks, equipped with all the advantages of civilization. But now it is halted, almost destroyed by the poisoned arrows of the savage Bansuto tribe. There is no way to return. Ahead lies the strange valley of diamonds, where hairy gorillas live in their town of London on the Thames, ruled by King Henry the Eighth. And behind them comes Tarzan of the Apes with the Golden Lion, seeking the man who might have been his twin brother in looks—though hardly in courage!

The tale begins in Dark Age Britain, a land where Arthur has been banished and Merlin has disappeared, where a child-king sits unprotected on the throne, where religion vies with magic for the souls of the people. It is to this desperate land that Arthur returns, a man at once utterly human and truly heroic: a man of honor, loyalty, and amazing valor; a man who loves Guinevere more passionately than he should; a man whose life is at once tragic and triumphant.

Earth and her colonies are now smoldering ruins, and the few survivors have fled to distant, Earth-like Safehold, to try to rebuild. But the Gbaba can detect the emissions of an industrial civilization, so the human rulers of Safehold have taken extraordinary measures: with mind control and hidden high technology, they've built a religion in which every Safeholdian believes, a religion designed to keep Safehold society medieval forever.

Historia
The last years of King Charles IX's reign in France were dominated by religious wars between Catholics and Protestants. Queen Margot begins in 1572 with the marriage of Marguerite de Valois to Henri de Navarre. Marguerite is King Charles' sister and the daughter of Henri II and Catherine de Medici, all firm Catholics. Henri de Navarre is a Protestant who later will become the beloved King Henri IV. Several important political events have led up to this marriage including the mysterious murder of Henri de Navarre's mother, cleverly plotted by Catherine de Medici. The wedding brings noblemen from all over the world to Paris resulting in the notorious Saint Bartholomew Massacre, where thousands of Protestants are killed. In this inventive and compelling novel, Dumas brings an extraordinary period of history vividly to life with much excitement and romance. The lively prose and wonderfully constructed plot tell of court intrigues and forbidden love, of beautiful queens, duchesses, and noblemen, suspense, conspiracies, betrayals, assassinations, superstitions, poisonings, and sumptuous feasts. With well-known historical figures as main characters in a dangerous and breathtaking game for power, Queen Margot tells of conspiracies, clandestine trysts, and daring escapes. There is the infamous Catherine de Medici, deliciously evil, constantly plotting and poisoning; Le Mole, a dashing and irresistable young Protestant who becomes Marguerite's lover; the noble Coconnos who provides a great source of comic relief; and at the center of all this intrigue are the good-hearted Marguerite and Henri who are perfect political allies with complicated and fascinating love lives.

Llana of Gathol is a unique volume in John Carter’s Barsoom series. While the previous books featured a single story throughout, Llana of Gathol is an anthology of four shorter tales written later in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ life. These stories are, The Ancient Dead, The Black Pirates of Barsoom, Yellow Men on Mars and Invisible Men of Mars. These are also considered to be the John Carter stories with the most humor, and explore the life of an older John Carter, Llana of Gathol being his granddaughter.

Once again the Warlord of Mars finds himself and his beloved Dejah Thoris face to face with new perils on Barsoom.

Like many others, I am a Burroughs fan who greatly enjoyed all of his books when I was growing up, and the availability of the books on Kindle and Audible has allowed for a delightful revisiting, not just of the books themselves, but of my own childhood. As an adult however, it is sometimes difficult to suspend one’s critical faculties when it comes to plot, dialogue, etc. and when it comes to The Master Mind of Mars, it’s a bit more of a stretch than even the earlier volumes. As with the previous two volumes in the series, John Carter makes only a minor appearance in this book. Instead we have Ulysses Paxton, a fellow American military man and friend of John Carter (on Earth), cut from the same cloth. Traveling to Barsoom (in the same preposterous manner as Carter), Paxton finds himself in the laboratory of Ras Thavas, the “Master Mind” of the book’s title. The gruesome and lurid events of the next few chapters, while straining credulity to the breaking point, serve as a jumping off point for a more conventional Burroughs-esque tale of adventure and romance, of which some of us never tire! So by all means, put up with the casual brain surgery and other unbelievable parts, kick back, be a kid again, and enjoy the story!
The narrator is competent and reads well, but with a “thick” and unusual British accent (reminiscent to me of Marlon Brando’s bizarre interpretation of Fletcher Christian) that I found a little difficult to follow, and somewhat incongruous with a story that is presented in the “first person” by an American military officer. That said, I am delighted to see a new Barsoom release, regardless of the narrator.
There were a couple of unusual aspects to this Audible edition. First, the book is in English, but the introductory and closing “comments” from Audible are in German. Secondly, the audiobook is divided into more than a hundred “chapters” that are only a minute or two in duration and that do not correspond to the actual chapter division of the book itself. Neither of these issues detracted from the listening experience in any way, however.
Any fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs or Barsoom will want to embrace and enjoy this audiobook!
Another Barsoom tale comes to Audible!
