Summary "The Gods of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. This work serves as the sequel to "A Princess of Mars," continuing the adventures of John Carter, who once again finds himself on the Martian planet, Barsoom. The narrative revolves around his ongoing quest for his beloved Dejah Thoris, amidst new threats and strange creatures that inhabit the mysterious land. The opening of the novel introduces an intriguing frame where a character reflects on the lasting legacy of Captain John Carter, who seemingly defied death and traversed worlds. Twelve years after the Captain's burial, a telegram from John Carter calls the narrator back to Richmond, igniting hopes of adventure and connection with Mars once more. As John Carter returns to Barsoom, the story unfolds through vivid descriptions of the alien landscape and the perilous encounters with the enigmatic plant men, setting the tone for a gripping tale of heroism, love, and the fight against formidable odds. The opening establishes a blend of nostalgia, wonder, and suspense that invites readers into the thrilling world of Burroughs' imagination. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
