Book excerpt: A Princess of Mars (1912) by Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the most over-the-top novels ever written. Inspired by pulp and in turn inspiring pulp to this day, its heroic absurdity-ahem, sentimentality possesses a verve for storytelling that plumbs the depths of exaggerated and imaginative fiction like few other period works of such length. And once the train starts rolling, it's tough to stop it. The Gods of Mars (1914), sequel to A Princess of Mars, sets the dial to twelve for John Carter's wild return to Barsoom.Transported back to Earth amidst an oxygen crisis at the end of A Princess of Mars, John Carter never learned whether the woman he loved, Dejah Thoris, or the son they were waiting to hatch (hatch!!!) suffocated or not. Praying to the sky above his New York home one night that he might return to know their fate, at the outset of The Gods of Mars John Carter once again finds his corporeal-self transported away from Earth. Arriving in an unfamiliar land, he's unsure whether he's on Barsoom or not. Strange plant men assaulting him in an exotic landscape that is nothing like his memories of the red planet, it isn't until he meets up with his old friend Tars Tarkas that the truth slowly unfolds: he has arrived in Dor, the land of the dead. All manner of exotic adventure unraveling, Carter must fight through peril and danger to escape a land no Barsoomiam has ever escaped from to learn what has befallen his beloved Dejah Thoris and son in the ten years since he last set foot on Mars
