A deadly game, hidden civilizations, and dangerous rivalries await in the strange and perilous world of Barsoom.
In The Chessmen of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tara of Helium, daughter of John Carter and Dejah Thoris, becomes separated from her companions after a reckless journey across the Martian wilderness. Stranded far from safety, she finds herself drawn into unfamiliar regions of Barsoom inhabited by strange races, ancient customs, and deadly enemies.
Among those caught in the unfolding danger is Gahan of Gathol, a courageous warrior determined to rescue Tara despite the growing threats surrounding them both. Their journey leads through hidden cities, dangerous landscapes, and encounters with bizarre creatures and rival factions unlike any previously seen on Mars.
At the centre of the adventure lies the terrifying game of Jetan-the Martian form of living chess-where human beings become the pieces in contests that can determine life or death. As political intrigue, warfare, and betrayal spread across Barsoom, Tara and Gahan must rely upon courage and loyalty to survive the dangers closing around them.
Blending romance, science fantasy, and high adventure, The Chessmen of Mars expands the Barsoom saga with imaginative world-building, unforgettable settings, and another thrilling journey across Edgar Rice Burroughs' legendary Mars.
