At the center of the series is the protagonist John Carter, a Confederate Captain of the American Civil War, who finds himself mysteriously transported to the planet Mars. A Princess of Mars is both a romantic adventure and a science fiction tale of fantasy.

Between them and a safe escape lies a treacherous landscape of strange creatures and mysterious deadly dangers.
