Synopsis

Ulysses Paxton, mortally wounded on the battlefields of WWI France, is transported to the planet of his dreams, Barsoom (Mars). There he becomes the assistant of the Master Mind of Mars, Ras Thavas, a medical genius. Burroughs anticipated such modern marvels as organ and limb transplants, exploding bullets, anti-grav fliers, and some we haven’t yet invented! When Ras Thavas switches the brains of an evil and wizened Jeddara (queen) into the body of a gorgeous young woman, our hero vows to right the wrong. Swords and sci-fi action abound in this sixth of ERB’s Mars series.

Probably more like a 4.5 or 4.75 . . . For this volume we're back to first-person narration, but it's not John Carter -- it's Ulysses Paxton, another Earth man who makes his way to Barsoom from the trenches of WWI-era Europe. Paxton already has a basic familiarity with Barsoom because he's read ERB's......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on December 06, 2020

Do you know those old Frankenstein movies, not the original but all the then-popular knock-offs with even more brains in jars and mad scientists putting their brains in monkeys and then wondering why they got elected to public office and started a revolution? Yeah. That's what this one was like. Mayb......more

I have been reading Burroughs since I was a teenager back in the 1960s. When I was 10 years old, my father gave me a copy of Tarzan and the Golden Lion for Christmas. I don't think I read it until a few years later but when I did, I became hooked on Burroughs. My father also had an old copy of A Pri......more
