Acerca de esta escucha

A Princess of Mars was the first book by Edgar Rice Burroughs to feature the character John Carter. It led to an 11-book series featuring his adventures and became the basis for the 2012 movie. Carter is a war-weary former military captain during the Civil War who is inexplicably transported to Mars. He quickly (and reluctantly) becomes embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions among the inhabitants of the planet.

I great story made better by out of this world narration!

E.R.B. Best know for his authorship of the Tarzan series, and much better series The Martian Tales is given a serious upgrade by a new voice actor! Move over Matthew McConaughey! We have a new voice for true southern gentleman. I’d love a revision of all of the Martian Tales with McLeod. Keep up the great work! And thank you for your contribution to preserving classic stories!

Excellent loved it!

This was a much better story than I thought it would be. Edgar Rice Burroughs was an amazing author. He know how to write well and to keep you engaged. I don’t like some of his themes that come across as somewhat racist 100 years later, but it is a well told story. I loved the narrator reading the story. Phenomenal job! I loved his Virginian accent.

A Princess of Mars

I read this book when I was 13 years old and came across the Martian series of Edgar Rice Burroughs in Audible and decided to listen to it. Enjoyed it a lot even if it seems a little more for the age group that I was when I read it the first time.

Outstanding!

The works of Edgar Rice Burroughs are adventure fiction at its best. A Princess of Mars counts among the greatest of them. There are many audio versions of this story and most do not do the story justice; some are quite painful to listen to. Macleod Andrews IS John Carter and his version of this story is by far the best! Andrews should be tapped to revise all the Mars audiobooks to provide fans with a consistent presentation throughout the series. Well done Sir!

Very.... 1912.

It's vastly apparent when this was written. I get that for some more sensitive readers, it may be too entrenched in the racism of the day. I don't consider myself particularly sensitive to these issues, but as a Native American, there were several parts I struggled through. If you can get past those, however, it is well worth your time!

Well narrated, but silly story

This reminded me of a superhero comic book story. From the underlying premise to the overuse of Martian names and places that start with "Z." It seemed interesting at the start. A man from Virginia is inexplicably transported to the planet Mars. There, he wows the locals with his superhuman strength and agility – which result from the lower gravity on Mars.

But it descends into silliness that must be aimed at boys in Junior High. It might work better as a comic book than a novel. It gets more complicated and ridiculous as it progresses. At first, Mars is a strange and different place from planet earth. But soon it becomes a Sci-Fi version of our own home planet – with palaces, governments, and endless wars. My goodness, there are even glass windows.

All the traits of humans are recreated in the inhabitants of Mars. In the end the story leads to a romance, and competition for the girl.

More like an elaborate Flash Gordon story than serious creation of an other world. Or maybe it could be compared with Lord of the Rings, where readers delight in all the warfare.

I gave it 2 stars because Macleod Andrews does a good job narrating, but the story didn't work for me at all.
