[This is the Audiobook CD Library Edition in vinyl case.] In this continuation of the saga of the amazing world of Barsoom, the love story of Carter and Dejah Thoris--the red-skinned, oviparous princess--unfolds. Like all the tales in the series, fantasy and adventure combine in a style as malleable as dreams, exotic and dangerous and unending. For six long Martian months, John Carter, Prince of Helium, has haunted the terrifying Temple of the Sun. Inside the walls of this mysterious revolving tower is his beloved wife, Dejah Thoris, the beautiful princess of Barsoom. Worse yet, his wife is trapped there with the lovely but wicked Phaidor, who has sworn to make John Carter her own--even if it means murder. How can Carter gain access to the temple, whose doors swing open only once a year? And when he does find his way inside, will he find Dejah Thoris' welcoming embrace--or her corpse? The upcoming film John Carter of Mars, set to hit theaters in 2012, is based on the first three books in this classic series. [A Princess of Mars, The Gods of Mars, Warlord of Mars]

“For six long Martian months I had haunted the vicinity of the hateful Temple of the Sun, within whose slow-revolving shaft, far beneath the surface of Mars, my princess was captive ...whether alive or dead I knew not. Had Phaidor’s slim blade found that beloved heart? I must wait until once again the revolving cell comes opposite the tunnel’s end where last I had seen my beautiful Dejah Thoris. As if it were yesterday, I still saw the face of Phaidor distorted with rage and hatred as she sprang forward with raised dagger upon the woman I loved.”
