This was fast-paced with lots of action and rare lulls. I had a small problem with the 'furs and silks' Where did They come from? everything is hairless and there is little water? And John Carter being a Super Warrior from the get go where before he 'arrived' he was but a glorified miner. but hey, its science fiction. I enjoyed it (especially Woola) and had to hop right into #2 to see what happens. Burroughs fed the mind with swashbuckling adventure a bit of romance and left you hanging. Good Read.
