John Carter of Mars This book, the last of ERB's Mars series, published after the author's death, containes the extraordinary chronicle of John Carter's trip to Jupiter, with the record of his adventures with that great planet's strange comrades-in-arms that he made among the many races of Jupiter. In the second story, actually written by ERB's son, John Coleman Burroughs, John Carter, Warlord of Barsoom, is lured to a deserted city to rescue his beloved Dejah Thoris who has been captured by power-mad Pew Mogel. Instead of his wife, Carter finds a synthetic giant, one hundred and thirty- five feet tall, and hordes of great, white apes into each of which the brains of a man has been grafted! It takes all the skill of Carter's famous fighting arm and extraordinary agility just to preserve his life-and meanwhile, the sands of time are running out for Dejah Thoris! www.edgarriceburroughs.com

When John Carter and the Giant of Mars appeared in the January 1941 issue of Amazing stories,
it was billed as being by ERB and the return of the master.
A couple of months later, a reader expressed some doubt in the letter column.
