About This Book

A frame narrative opens with John Carter recounting the adventures of Helium's Tara, a proud princess whose impulsive actions draw her into Barsoomian politics and the brutal pastime of jetan, a chesslike contest with lethal consequences. She is abducted, enslaved and forced into perilous trials that expose cultural customs, shifting alliances, and tests of fidelity and courage; rescue attempts and duels propel the plot across varied Martian locales, while the tale examines honor, loyalty, and survival within a martial, exotic world.
