This new tale, the third of the Martian series, is a continuation of the amazing adventures of John Carter of Virginia on the strange planet forty-three million miles from Earth. And such adventures! Battles with warriors (green men and red men) fifteen feet in height, and mounted on horses shaped like dragons; fights on airships and encounters with monsters - grim and terrible banths, fearsome white apes - and other foes in the bowels of the Earth, his only helper being Woola, the huge ten-legged Martian hound. After matching his wits with two of the most unscrupulous scoundrels on the whole planet, John Carter succeeds in recovering his wife, "a world's most beautiful woman." and is made Jeddak of Jeddaks, Warlord of Mars. It is a wild and fantastic tale - a triumph of imagination.

"After the battle at the end of the previous book, which ended with the destruction of the religion of Issus, John Carter's wife and two other women were locked in a slowly rotating prison attached to the Temple of the Sun, each of whose hundreds of cells are only open to the outside world once every year. In the meantime, Carter's friend Xodar has become the new Jeddak (chief or king) of the black Martian First Born, and those white Martian therns who reject the old religion likewise gain a new unnamed leader, but there are still some who wish to keep the old discredited religion going, including the therns' erstwhile leader, the Holy Hekkador Matai Shang. John Carter discovers that a First Born named Thurid knows the secret of the Temple of the Sun and he and Matai Shang want to rescue the Holy Thern's daughter Phaidor, who has been imprisoned with Dejah Thoris and another Barsoomian princess, Thuvia of Ptarth, in the Temple jail for several hundred days."
