Book excerpt: The is the Large Print Edition presented in easy to read 16 point type In the fifth Barsoom adventure, Tara, the daughter of John Carter and Dejah Thoris takes center stage. Tara meets Gahan of Gathol, but she's not impressed. When Tara is stranded in an unfamiliar part of Barsoom and captured, Gahan sets out to rescue her. When he saves her, she doesn't recognize him as the prince she'd met earlier, so he introduces himself as a warrior named Turan. He's fallen for her, and is hoping to win her hand.
