I’ve accused Burroughs of being the master of coincidence and happenstance but in this story it works. We have individual fights, rebellions and armies meeting all in 190 pages. The action shifts from the civilizations at the bottom of Barsoom to an ancient city to the halls of Helium in typical Burroughs whirlwind fashion but it holds together.ĮRB is hitting his stride here with daring feats of battle by John Carter to naval fleets in wide scale aerial battle. My mind still reels thinking about it but also I realize that Burroughs had it mapped out in his mind. Immense caverns with parts of the city emerging above ground to be in the upper sea. Here we have a sea at the bottom of the world with another sea underneath it. In the desert world of Barsoom, he envisions an oasis at the bottom of the planet. In some ways making his own thoughts about religion clear. Here ERB creates and deconstructs the religion of Barsoom (Mars). Reading the first chapter, visualizing the plant men with their kangaroo attack mode with the spade like tails had me spinning. Gods of Mars is Burroughs unleashed, his imagination going places further than Princess.

Enough that I would confuse it with the ending of A Princess of Mars. It must have been the first that I read since the ending stuck in my head all these years. But this second appearance of John Carter of Mars stayed in my psyche. Mind you I devoured anything Tarzan, TV, movies, comics but I didn’t connect Tarzan with ERB per se. This was the book that sold me on Edgar Rice Burroughs more than any other. I have to say I am very glad I chose to read it again. As I pulled it off the shelf for a quick skim, I realized that I didn’t really remember much of the story. Having listened to the book a few years back I wasn’t going to re-read it when giving my reflections. This reflection starts out with a confession.
