Edgar Rice Burroughs

A deadly storm, a valley of monstrous intellects, and a life-or-death game played on a board of blood-red sand.

Swept away by a cataclysmic Martian tempest, the beautiful and defiant Tara, Princess of Helium, finds herself stranded in the terrifying, uncharted region of Bantoom. Here, she becomes the captive of the Kaldanes—a nightmarish race of highly evolved, spider-like brains who rule over the headless, subservient bodies of the Rykors. Stripped of her royal protections, Tara must rely on her sharp blade and unbreakable Barsoomian spirit to survive a society that views her as nothing more than livestock.

Her only hope lies in the brilliant and brave Gahan of Gathol, who risks everything to brave the tempest and search for her. But to save the Princess, they must navigate a maze of grotesque underground horrors and ultimately survive Jetan—a brutal, living game of Martian chess where every move is a clash of steel, and the penalty for a blunder is death.

Why you will love this audiobook: This Science Fiction pioneer delivers relentless action, bizarre and imaginative alien species, and a sweeping romance set against an epic planetary backdrop. If you love classic space opera, sword-and-planet fantasy, and high-stakes survival against overwhelming odds, this thrilling entry in the Barsoom series will keep you breathless.
