John Carter of Mario, your (sons) princess is in another castle!
Awaiting the next book, the inevitable kidnapping and totally unforeseen revelation of another undiscovered race on Mars!
In the midst of the formulaic seems a genuine imagination, exploring Barsoom and its alternative ecology. A better clip again than previous books, and the use of third person made it more enjoyable than the self-aggrandizing protagonist of the previous trilogy. The nature of reality and mind-made men in Lothario was an avenue begging for further exploration, but either Burroughs was not up to the task or left it for a later installment.
