A Princess of Mars, the first novel in the Barsoom series, with its sequels The Gods of Mars and The Warlord of Mars, forms a trilogy centered upon protagonist John Carter and damsel in distress Dejah Thoris. In 'Gods of Mars' John Carter returns to Barsoom just in time to save 'the incomparable' Dejas Thoris from a fate worse than death at the hands (or whatever) of the false Gods of Mars. Whatever the reason John Carter lead to Carson Napier, and from there to Tarzan, and from Tarzan to all the rest of Burroughs' works. 'A Princess of Mars' got the series off to a 'leaping' start when it first appeared in the pulp magazines of the day in a series of monthly magazine installments. Although the Michael Whelan covers and me being a young heterosexual boy in the early stages of puberty may have been a contributing factor. The works of Edgar Rice Burroughs were my discovery on the spinner racks of my local library. The only mandatory reading in Burroughs is 'Tarzan of the Apes' and 'A Princess of Mars.' Once you've finished those two, I officially decree that you have read enough Burroughs, and you have my permission to switch over to Douglas Adams. Tolkien was not the first fantasy I was every exposed to, but between endlessly gazing at the maps and forever paging through the appendices at the end of The Return of the King, his work was the impetus for me to first realize that, "Oh! You can just make this stuff up yourself." I think I can trace a lot of my desire to be a DM to that moment. I look forward to seeing what else is on this list.įor me both Middle-earth and Barsoom would have to rank high on my own personal list of favorite imaginary settings.
