Burroughs began writing it in January, 1921, and the finished story was first published in Argosy All-Story Weekly as a six-part serial in the issues for February 18 and 25 and March 4, 11, 18 and 25, 1922. Having listened to samples of the other editions of this novel on Audible, I liked Mr. The Chessmen of Mars is a science fantasy novel by American wrtier Edgar Rice Burroughs, the fifth of his Barsoom series. Shaw’s narration is recent (2022) and I personally hope that he (and Audible) has plans to deliver the additional volumes. (Summary by tubeyes) Note: The Prelude and Chapter 1 are read by two different readers. Adventure and perile ensue as the story unfolds. Strangely, there are several different versions of both of these volumes available on Audible, but almost none of the subsequent five or six remaining volumes in the series. The Chessmen of Mars BY EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS Author of At The Earths Core Tarzan the Terrible The Mucker Thuvia, Maid of Mars, Etc. The Chessmen of Mars is a tale of wonder and excellence that follows John Carter and Dejah Thoris, along with their daughter Tara, princess of Helium, as she is sought after by Gahan, Jed of Gathol. He also narrated the edition of “Thuvia, Maid of Mars” that I listened to. Harry Shaw does a fine job narrating this volume. I read all the Barsoom stories as a youngster, so it’s difficult to give an objective review of this book - much of the enjoyment for me consisted of re-living boyhood adventures and fantasies! If you’ve enjoyed reading any of the other Barsoom adventures, you will almost certainly enjoy this one as well. The Chessmen of Mars introduces John Carter and Dejah Thoris’ daughter Tara, and the book is entirely focused on her adventures. As with Volume Four of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Barsoom series (Thuvia, Maid of Mars), John Carter plays only a small role in this volume.
