Book summary

On Mars, Thuvia, Princess of Ptarth, is kidnapped, and Carthoris, the son of John Carter, is accused. To find her and clear his name, he crosses the deserts to Lothar, a forgotten city whose inhabitants can summon armies of phantom bowmen by the power of thought.

This fourth novel in the Mars series hands over to a new generation of heroes, amid battles, jealous rivals and strange cities.

Fast-paced from start to finish, it is easy to read in the language you are learning.
