The Disney Sci-Fi extravaganza John Carter is in theaters now, but did you know it was based on a series of classic novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the same man who brought us Tarzan and The Land That Time Forgot?
Good news: the first five books in the John Carter series are available in a single Kindle edition, priced at just 99 cents!
While it’s true that public-domain material like this can also be had for free from sites like Project Gutenberg, the advantage of investing a buck is that this Kindle edition is not just a scan-and-publish job. The book has been formatted for Kindle and includes a hyperlinked table of contents.
Check out John Carter’s Adventures on Mars, Tarzan, the Complete Adventures (25 books in one volume for $2.99!), and The Land That Time Forgot (3 books in one volume for 99 cents!).
These classic adventure stories have influenced such popular, modern works as Avatar and Jurassic Park, and of course Tarzan has been made into a terrific Disney animated film, the live-action film Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, and many other film and television versions as well.
