The first three of these books fit together wonderfully as the opening trilogy of the John Carter of Mars series.  For pure fantasy adventure, few books have topped these.  The other two are somewhat lesser works but still very enjoyable.If  you are interested in Sword and Planet fiction for the kindle ebook, you should also check out the Alan Burt Akers series, which are direct descendents of Burroughs.  Transit to Scorpio is the first in that series.I would also recommend my own Talera series, which includes Swords of Talera, Wings Over Talera, and Witch of Talera. They are also available as ebooks. I see a lot of folks brag on their own books but I am proud of these books, and if you look at the reviews under the paperback versions you'll see that others enjoy them as well and consider them excellent modern continuations of the Sword and Planet tradition.
