Ajax--actually Tarzan's longtime friend Akut--has been brought to London by Tarzan's old enemy Alexis Paulvitch, who hopes to wreak vengeance on the ape-man. After killing Paulvitch in self-defense, Jack and Akut flee to Africa, where they assume the wild life of Jack's mighty sire. Growing to manhood in the jungle, the Greystoke heir earns the name Korak the Killer, and befriends Meriem, an Arab waif rescued from a life of torment in her adoptive father's village. The couple's idyllic jungle life is challenged by the arrival of evil men, whose scheme to separate the pair--and the ensuing perils--only strengthens Korak and Meriem's bond.

In this third installment of Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Barsoom" series, "The Warlord of Mars", we follow the extraterrestrial adventures of John Carter, an American Civil War veteran transplanted to Mars. The "Barsoom" series began as a four-part serial in "All-Story Magazine" between December 1913 through March 1914. That first story, "A Princess of Mars", was wildly popular and resulted in numerous sequels. In the series John Carter's encounters with Martian royalty, fantastic creatures, ancient alien races, and formidable monsters in a dangerous foreign world are chronicled. Lovers of the science fiction genre will enjoy the strange and exciting details woven intricately throughout "The Warlord of Mars", which begins where the previous novel, "The Gods of Mars", abruptly left off. Here we find John Carter attempting to free his beloved wife, the princess Dejah Thoris, from the slowly rotating prison in the Temple of the Sun. The exciting adventures of John Carter continue in this thrilling installment of Burroughs' "Barsoom" series. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
