* A Princess of Mars *
John Carter, a gentleman from Virginia and a Civil War veteran, unexpectedly finds himself on to the red planet, scene of continuing combat among rival tribes. Captured by a band of six-limbed, green-skinned savage giants called Tharks, Carter soon is accorded all the honor of a chieftain after it's discovered that his muscles, accustomed to Earth's greater gravity, now give him a decisive advantage in strength. When his captors take as prisoner Dejah Thoris, the lovely human-looking princess of the city of Helium, Carter must call upon every ounce of strength, courage, and ingenuity to rescue her before Dejah becomes the slave of the depraved Thark leader, Tal Hajus.

After a long exile on Earth, John Carter finally returns to his beloved Mars. But beautiful Dejah Thoris, the woman he loves, has vanished. Now he is trapped in the legendary Eden of Mars — an Eden from which none ever escaped alive.
* The Warlord of Mars *
John Carter risks everything to rescue his wife, Princess Dejah Thoris, from the clutches of his evil adversaries, but he is always one step behind. His battles cover the face of the red planet, as his quest carries him ultimately to the mysterious northern pole.
* Thuvia, Maid of Mars *

Now Cathoris must follow in the footsteps of his father, John Carter, and overcome phantom armies, dangerous spies and savage beasts as he attempts to save his true love and reunite Mars.
* The Chessmen of Mars *
Impetuous and headstrong is Tara, Princess of Helium and daughter of John Carter. She takes her flier into a storm, loses control of the craft, and ends up in an unfamiliar region of Barsoom.

While imprisoned, Tara manages to win over one of the Kaldanes, Ghek, with her lovely singing voice.
* The Master Mind of Mars *

* Llana of Gathol *
In search of solitude, John Carter flies to the deserted city of Horz and discovers his own granddaughter, Llana of Gathol, who is being held captive.
