The first serialized chapter for A Princess of Mars came out in July 1912 and the last chapter of The Warlord of Mars hit stands in March of 1914, all that while also working on Tarzan of the Apes. Lucky for readers at the time Burroughs was a pretty fast writer with no five year wait between installments, I’m looking at you George R.R. Published in 1913 in the pages of All-Story magazine this book is basically the second of what is really an introductory trilogy to the Barsoom series A Princess of Mars and The Gods of Mars both end with cliffhangers and not properly concluded until T he Warlord of Mars was released. The Gods of Mars is considered by most to be the best of the Barsoom series it fleshes out the hero, introduces new races and gives us more history of the planet, all that and it’s also one of the best attacks on organized religion I’ve ever come across.
