THE WARLORD OF MARS completes the story begun in A PRINCESS OF MARS and continued in THE GODS OF MARS, finally bringing John Carter and his beloved Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium, back together. The story picks up six months after the conclusion of THE GODS OF MARS, with our hero not knowing whether his one true love is dead or alive. It turns out that the exiled leader of the Therns has reached the trapped women to rescue his daughter -- and to seek revenge on Carter for exposing his evil cult. . . .
