The Gods of Mars
Barsoom, book two
Ten years after he was pulled back to Earth, John Carter wakes on Barsoom again — this time in the Valley Dor, the paradise every Martian pilgrim sails down the River Iss to reach, and finds out what actually happens to the pilgrims. The book takes apart the religion of an entire planet, and ends on one of the most famous cliffhangers in the genre.
Which is why it is sold here on its own and in the trilogy: anyone who finishes this one wants book three the same night. DRM-free, with navigable chapters.
“As I stood upon the bluff before my cottage on that clear cold night in the early part of March, 1886, the noble Hudson flowing like the grey and silent spectre of a dead river below me, I felt again the strange, compelling influence of the mighty god of war, my beloved Mars, which for ten long and lonesome years I had implored with outstretched arms to carry me back to my lost love. Not since that other March night in 1866, when I had stood without that Arizona cave in which my still and lifeless body lay wrapped in the similitude of earthly death had I felt the irresistible attraction of the god of my profession.”

About Chris Nohall
Planetary romance and Regency courtship from the years before either had a genre label. I take texts nobody owns and make editions worth paying for: clean typography, working contents pages, no scanner noise, and sets that belong together. Everything here is DRM-free — the file is yours once you have it.
