Review Quotes:
"[Edgar Rice] Burroughs is probably the most influential writer in the entire history of the world." Ray Bradbury, author of The Martian Chronicles
"[Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom saga] aroused generations of eight-year-olds, myself among them, to consider the exploration of the planets as a real possibility, to wonder if we ourselves might one day voyage to Mars." Carl Sagan, author of Cosmos
"[I]t was not the purely fictional aspect of the [Barsoom] cycle which gave it its power, but its mythic nature, its playing upon primal urges and submerged forces within the human psyche which gave the books their appeal and which give them their continued validity." Richard A. Lupoff, author of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Master of Adventure
