Can't Dejah Thoris stay out of trouble?,
By E. M. Van Court "Van, emvc (at) lycos.com" (Honolulu, Hawai'i, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Swords of Mars (Martian Series # 8) (Ballantine F728) (Mass Market Paperback)
Dejah Thoris is kidnapped... Again.
John Carter, Warlord of Mars seeks to rid Barsoom of the Assassin's Guild. In his efforts to stamp out the local 'Murder Inc." he personally goes undercover in a city where John Carter is not held in high esteem. When the local assassins realize they're being hunted by the Warlord of Mars, they go on the offensive, kidnapp John Carter's wife Dejah Thoris and carry her off to one of the moons of Mars. Needless to say, Our Hero goes after her, finds allies, meets new races (one fair skinned and blue haired [but not little old ladies], the other like a cat on bad drugs),kills bad guys, rescues slave girls, hangs from cliffs (figuratively), raids fortresses, and all those other things we've come to know and love. Up until the last chapter, this was in the running for the best of the series. Action, a fast pace, new escapes, allies, and enemies, and a more personal view of John Carter. In the last chapter, the author seemed in a rush to tie everything off. It was still very good and as much of a page-turner as the rest of the series, but the ending was abrupt. Still better than what's hitting the shelves today. E. M. Van Court |
