For every occupied city, though, there are dozens of abandoned ruins standing in silent tribute to a people long since dead and turned to sand. The landscape of Barsoom consists largely of miles upon miles of desert and wasteland, punctuated by gleaming cities that raise towards the heavens at irregular intervals. Once a world dominated by vast oceans, the remaining water comes from streams and canals trickling down from the northern pole, or from natural caverns hidden deep within the earth. It is a dying world, far past its prime, where the noble red men strive mightily to live up to their world's legacy.
Warriors travel great miles in lighter than air sky craft, only to do battle with sword and dagger. Is Barsoom real, or is it merely a fleeting dream from the mind of a man succumbing to death? Barsoom, for all its technological wonders, is more a feudal world than a cosmopolitan society. John Carter, a man with a mysterious past that even he cannot fully recall, finds himself transported from the fields of Virginia to a bloody warrior world.
