A Princess of Mars (AmazonClassics Edition)

By: Edgar Rice Burroughs

Narrated by: James Patrick Cronin

After prospecting for gold in Arizona, Confederate Civil War hero John Carter stumbles upon a mysterious cave - a portal, it turns out, to the ecologically endangered planet Mars. Once there, he finds his place with a tribe of green Martians, and his newfound powers in the reduced Martian gravity make him an important figure in their war against a rival tribe. At the heart of this conflict lies the beautiful Dejah Thoris, the kidnapped Princess of Helium. Rescuing her soon becomes paramount, for only she can help Carter save the dying planet he now calls home.

Combining elements of western adventure and science fantasy, Edgar Rice Burroughs’s epic romance influenced such future visionaries as Ray Bradbury, Carl Sagan, and James Cameron.

Revised edition: Previously published as A Princess of Mars, this edition of A Princess of Mars (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Best Narrater

This is my first time using this app and I am very impressed with this book but most of all James Patrick Cronin did a amazing job so good in fact I fear all that will narrate ahead will be nothing short of disappointment in comparison but never the less I must carry on to gods of Mars

Amazing Narrator, Movie to book Listener

I love the narrator's voice, how it actually sounds like a southern gentleman. His different voices were noticeable but not perfect but that's fine. narrator had a fluidity to his reading that was really good!

The story it's self I came here after watching the movie and the book had a lot more interesting content and information where if I was to watch the movie certain scenes would make more sense. The romance between Dajah and Carter seems to make more sense in the mook than it does the movie, but still a little confusing.

Over all I really enjoyed this book and I wish this narrator would do the second book because I am not a fan of the other narrator's voices for Mr. John Carter.

A Princess Of Mars

Wonderful story! A great read for all ages! Burroughs and his wonderful imagination shine through once again,a must read!!!

A Classic brought to life

You may or may not have read this in your travels, but this classic story has been around for a long time. I have to say - listening to this narrated by James Patrick Cronin was much better than reading this book for me. He's a favorite narrator, but he really brings every story he does come to life, and this is no exception. Worth listening to!!
