A Princess of Mars

ON THE ARIZONA HILLS

I am a very old man; how old I do not know. Possibly I am a hundred, possibly more; but I cannot tell because I have never aged as other men, nor do I remember any childhood. So far as I can recollect I have always been a man, a man of about thirty. I appear today as I did forty years and more ago, and yet I feel that I cannot go on living forever; that some day I shall die the real death from which there is no resurrection. I do not know why I should fear death, I who have died twice and am still alive; but yet I have the same horror of it as you who have never died, and it is because of this terror of death, I believe, that I am so convinced of my mortality.

Reviewer: Kaare Christiansen - 10/11/2008 16:36 Subject: Early sci-fi space adventure This is like Tarzan meets science fiction! Adventures, fist fights, battles − and it's all on Mars! This is classic adventure stuff, and the story grips you. At the same time, it's interesting to compare this early sci−fi to modern sci−fi. A lot of it shows it's age (don't let a feminist near this book, or any other by Edgar Rice Burroughs), and at the same time the story works just as well today − speculation on extending science known at the time (even when we know better today) and applying it to what new marvels may be dreamed of and especially what they may mean to a society was and is the essence of science fiction. The reading is very good, overall, but I must admit I found it rather distracting that the chapters are read by different people. Most were very good readers, but it disturbs your enjoyment of the story that you have to get used to new readers all the time. I'm not a native English speaker, and just getting used to the dialects take a little time.
Reviewer: Apt411 - 2/22/2009 5:02 Subject: I agree with Kaare It is definitely distracting trying to keep up with the various readers, especially those with unusual pronunciation.
