		SANOMA TORA This is the story of Hadron of Hastor, Fighting Man of Mars, as narrated by him to Ulysses Paxton: I am Tan Hadron of Hastor, my father is Had Urtur, Odwar of the 1st Umak of the Troops of Hastor.
		Man has, however, never been able to subdue their ferocious nature and they are always the most dangerous of animals to handle, which probably accounts more even than their intelligence for the interest displayed by the large audiences that they unfailingly attract.
		Thanks be to a thousand fighting ancestors that I wielded a long sword with swiftness and with strength; otherwise I must have been gathered into that savage embrace in the brute's first charge.

	Barsoom series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After travelling to Mars, he seemed to find his true calling in life as a warrior-savior of the planet's inhabitants.
		Although loosely inspired by astronomical speculation of the time that pictured Mars as a formerly Earthlike world now becoming more inhospitable to life, Burroughs' Barsoom tales never aspired to anything other than exciting escapism.
		A Princess of Mars was possibly the first fiction of the 20th century to feature a constructed language; although "Barsoomian" was not particularly developed, it did add verisimilitude to the narrative.

		Coming, as they did, over the soft and soundless moss, which covers practically the entire surface of Mars with the exception of the frozen areas at the poles and the scattered cultivated districts, they might have captured me easily, but their intentions were far more sinister.
		The result is that they are infinitely less agile and less powerful, in proportion to their weight, than an Earth man, and I doubt that were one of them suddenly to be transported to Earth he could lift his own weight from the ground; in fact, I am convinced that he could not do so.
		My feat then was as marvelous upon Mars as it would have been upon Earth, and from desiring to annihilate me they suddenly looked upon me as a wonderful discovery to be captured and exhibited among their fellows.

		But whatever musing upon the flora of this strange land I may have been indulging in was brought to a sudden termination as we rounded the shoulder of a jutting promontory and came face to face with as hideous a creature as ever I had laid my eyes upon.
		It was a great white lizard with gaping jaws large enough to engulf a man at a single swallow.
		He was a hideous sight, a sight such as to make even a brave man turn and run, which I am now convinced is what practically all of his victims did; but here were two who did not run.

		If you look at the copyright information, A Princess of Mars (#1) was actually written and first published in 1912 in a pulp fiction magazine and the last one is from the '40s.
		That should give you some idea of their author's attitudes (I really don't think that ERB could ever have subscribed to the idea of the equality of women).
		He makes of Barsoom (the Martians' own name for their planet) a lively and fascinating place, where princesses can be won by great fighters, where honor is truly a fighting matter, and the adventure never stops.

		Now the first three books in the Martian (or Barsoom as Burrogh's natives call it) series have very simple "rescue the girl" plots, all involving the hero John Carter of Mars, who becomes Warlord of Mars by the end of the third book.
		The fourth features his son, and the fifth (the one I'm just about to start) I remember as having the most satisfying plot, involving an early version of a live chess match where the pieces must fight for control of the square.

		Perhaps best known for his Tarzan series, which is itself a cross of genres, Burroughs' Barsoom saga establishes Mars as the stage for SF and Fantsay protocols to mix indescriminantly.
		The stories recount the exploits of John Carter as he battles with various green, yellow, and fl men before he wins the hand of the red-skinned princess Dejah Thoris.
		Although Carter's adventures take place on Mars, he travels there by magical means, and Barsoom itself is inconsistent and scientifically implausible.
