Quite by accident, Lieutenant Gullivar Jones of the United States Navy is transported to Mars. Not a barren, lifeless planet, Mars is a lush and beautiful world whose elf-like people embrace him like a brother. To rescue his new bride, the Princess Heru, he quests across the globe to the frosty land of the barbarians who have taken her. For only he is capable of saving her... and is the only one willing to.____First published in 1905, this timeless classic is arguably one of the inspirations for Edgar Rice Burroughs and other authors. Today it stands as a testament to the late Victorian/Edwardian era mind, their wonder, and imagination.

Ace Books, 1964. Mass market paperback. Originally published in 1905 as "Lieut. Gulliver Jones: His Vacation," An early interplanetary romance story; in the introduction Richard A Lupoff claims this story as a source for Edgar Rice Burroughs's Barsoom. The provenance is visible in hindsight.

"Oh, I wish I were anywhere but here, anywhere out of this redtape-ridden world of ours! I wish I were in the planet Mars!" Whisked away to the legendary red planet, the intrepid Lieutenant Gullivar Jones is caught up in the adventure of a lifetime. To win the love of a beautiful princess, he fights his way across a dying and savage planet of desolate cities, lost races, utopian societies, and the haunting and unforgettable River of Death. This classic, influential tale of Mars, written in the utopian tradition of H. G. Wells's The Time Machine, is also considered a possible inspiration for the immortal Barsoom of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Both reflective and imaginative, Gullivar of Mars celebrates the acuity and storytelling power of science fiction writers of the early twentieth century and continues to influence writers and to entertain readers today. This commemorative edition includes the full text of the classic 1905 edition, a new introduction by Richard A. Lupoff, an illustration by Thomas Floyd, and an afterword by Gary Hoppenstand.
