Publisher's Notes Concerning Chapter XXXII
As described in this book's introduction, Tarzan on Mars was written in 1954 but never authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. for publication. The original manuscript has been privately handed down and copied and recopied by collectors ever since. The volume you are presently reading is descended from one of those copies.John Bloodstone completed only thirty-one chapters of Tarzan On Mars and never finished his novel. Along with the thirty-one finished chapters that he submitted to his original, intended publisher, Bloodstone provided a brief letter containing a suggested conclusion to the story. He evidently intended to expand this idea into Chapter XXXII. The text of that letter appears below.
The editor of the present manuscript (whose identity is unknown to this publisher) has written and provided an additional and concluding chapter for Tarzan On Mars. This new chapter attempts to provide a needed end to the story and yet to do so in a manner that is as close to Bloodstone's concept and style as was possible. This chapter, the missing chapter number thirty-two, is thus not the work of John Bloodstone but does try to maintain his spirit and style just as Bloodstone attempted to maintain the spirit and style of Edgar Rice Burroughs. The reader is asked to kindly disregard this last chapter if its source is considered to be unacceptable.
The following is the letter that was attached to the original manuscript and appears to be a note from John Bloodstone to his editor or his literary agent.

THE MISSING CHAPTER 32 The editor of the present manuscript (whose identity is unknown to us) has written and provided an additional and concluding chapter for Tarzan On Mars. This new chapter attempts to provide a needed end to the story and yet to do so in a manner that is as close to Bloodstone's concept and style as was possible. This chapter, the missing chapter number thirty-two, is thus not the work of John Bloodstone but does try to maintain his spirit and style just as Bloodstone attempted to maintain the spirit and style of Edgar Rice Burroughs. The reader is asked to kindly disregard this last chapter if its source is considered to be unacceptable.
