A Fighting Man of Mars (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket)
A Fighting Man of Mars follows Tan Hadron of Hastor as he embarks on a quest across Mars to rescue his beloved Sanoma Tora. Along the way, he encounters formidable creatures, a mad scientist, and forms alliances with strong characters like Tavia, a witty and competent escaped slave. The narrative, reminiscent of The Arabian Nights, unfolds with Tan overcoming various challenges and discovering true alliances and loyalties. This thrilling adventure not only tests Tan's bravery but also his understanding of what loyalty and love truly mean. A Fighting Man of Mars is Edgar Rice Burroughs' seventh book in the Barsoom series. This novel connects to Burroughs' Pellucidar series with the use of the Gridley Wave, a fictional communications technology, creating a link between both universes. The book's impact extended beyond literature into pop culture, influencing George Lucas in the early conceptual phase of what would become the Star Wars saga. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
The Master Mind of Mars (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket)
The Master Mind of Mars introduces Ulysses Paxton, an Earthman who finds himself transported to the planet Mars. Under the guidance of Ras Thavas, a scientist specializing in brain transplantation techniques, Paxton acquires knowledge about the workings of Martian society. Adopting the Martian identity of Vad Varo, he skillfully navigates the complex moral terrain of his newfound home. The narrative delves into matters of self-identity and bodily autonomy as Paxton rebels against Ras' unethical practices in order to rescue Valla Dia, a princess whose brain has been transplanted into another body. The Master Mind of Mars is the sixth novel in Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom series. Burroughs faced severe difficulties in publishing this episode due to its satirical nature, particularly its indictment of religious extremism, which resulted in its first rejection by higher-paying markets. Hugo Gernsback eventually published the novel at a lower price, reflecting the changing cultural and editorial landscapes of the period.

Thuvia, Maid of Mars (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket)
Carthoris, the son of John Carter, is determined to rescue Thuvia, who is kidnapped and taken to the ancient city of Lothar. This city is inhabited by a race that can create lifelike illusions through thought alone. Amidst her abduction, Thuvia is promised to another, and Carthoris's quest to save her inadvertently sparks a war between Martian nations. The novel intricately weaves themes of love, honor, and illusion, as Carthoris navigates through these complex social and political dilemmas to save Thuvia and prevent a war. As the fourth novel in the series, Thuvia, Maid of Mars explores the romantic entanglements and heroic adventures of younger characters, set against a backdrop of Martian city-state politics. The novel introduces innovative science fiction elements like autopilot for Martian fliers and the Lotharians, a race skilled in telepathic projections that can conjure lethal illusions and sustain themselves through thought alone, adding depth to the series' exploration of the power of the mind and the consequences of intellectual extremes.

John Carter, a Confederate veteran, finds himself transported to Mars after the Civil War, where he discovers he has extraordinary physical abilities due to the planet's different gravity and atmosphere. Amidst Mars' diverse species and complex politics, Carter becomes a leader among the Tharks, a tribe of fierce green Martians, and embarks on a perilous adventure to save Dejah Thoris, the princess of the red Martians. His quest throws him into the heart of Martian conflicts, pitting him against the predatory Zodanga state, escalating his adventures into a grand battle for peace and justice. A Princess of Mars marks a pivotal point in the evolution of science fiction literature. This novel not only pioneered the planetary romance subgenre - blending elements of fantasy with adventurous swordplay and distant worlds - but also integrated themes from Westerns, setting its narrative on a desolate, dying Mars, as imagined through the once-popular astronomical theories of Percival Lowell. Its profound influence extended beyond literature, inspiring future science fiction legends and scientific minds alike, shaping both the narrative style and the thematic exploration of space and extraterrestrial civilizations in modern sci-fi.

The Gods of Mars (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket)
After a ten-year hiatus, John Carter returns to Mars and finds himself in the Valley Dor, a place no one is meant to leave. This is the Martian version of the afterlife. Here, Carter unearths a sophisticated plot masterminded by the Therns, who have used bogus religious promises to trick the other races of Barsoom for millennia. In addition to his ally Tars Tarkas, Carter makes new friends in the Thern princess Phaidor and the slave girl Thuvia. Together, they encounter many dangerous situations, such as fights with the fearsome Black Pirates of Barsoom. The political and social complexity of Burroughs' Martian universe is further explored in this sequel to A Princess of Mars, which also presents the protagonist with new allies and foes as it explores themes of deceit, colonialism, and the pursuit of both individual and societal salvation. Though clearly science fiction, it is recognized for having had a significant impact on the planetary romance subgenre, fusing exotic locales, speculative science, and daring adventure. It differs from space operas in that it places more of an emphasis on surface locations than spacecraft. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

Kuun neito, Kuun kansa ja Hiirihaukka vihdoinkin suomeksi yhtenä niteenä! Tuskin tietoisena ponnistuksesta nousin ylös ja köydet napsahtivat poikki. Näin sotilaiden perääntyvän hämmästyneinä, kun seisoin heitä vastassa. "Menkää", sanoin heille." Menkää, ennen kuin tapan teidät kaikki. Olette menneet liian pitkälle." Yli 50 vuotta kestäneen maailmansodan jälkeen rauhaan totutteleva ihmiskunta saa yhteyden John Carteriin Marsissa, ja planeettojen välisen matkailun aikakauden ennustetaan alkavan. Jokin menee kuitenkin vikaan, ja ennen pitkää Maapallo on hurjien Kuun asukkaiden vallassa. Syttyykö vapauden liekki alistettujen Maan asukkaiden rinnassa vai jääkö ihmiskunta orjiksi? Monta sukupolvea ja monta vuosisataa käsittävä trilogia kokoaa yksiin kansiin Edgar Rice Burroughsin Kuu-tarinat, joita on sanottu jopa yhdeksi parhaista hänen kirjoistaan. Ensi kertaa suomeksi julkaistavan teoksen on suomentanut Anssi Hynynen.
