Continuano, dopo il primo audiolibro del ciclo, "Pirati su Venere", le avventure di Carson Napier sul pianeta Venere. Un intenso susseguirsi di incontri e scontri con animali feroci e uomini più o meno evoluti ma altrettanto pericolosi e crudeli. Insieme a Duare, la bellissima principessa, il nostro eroe cercherà di ritrovare la strada verso il regno di Vepaja, tra mille difficoltà e pericoli. Precursore dei mondi distopici e delle saghe fantastiche, Burroughs si conferma un grande visionario, capace di muoversi a suo agio tra le creature mostruose che verranno riprese dai posteri.

Questo primo romanzo del "Ciclo di Venere", del 1934, opera meno famosa dell'autore di Tarzan si inserisce nel filone della costruzione di un mondo utopico/distopico, filone iniziato da H. G. Wells nella Macchina del Tempo nel 1902. In questo caso la società abita su Venere, pianeta che, a causa della fitta coltre di nubi, è stato sempre sconosciuto ai vari astronomi e scienziati, e ipotizzato come inadatto alla vita. Lo stesso autore ha scritto altri cicli di romanzi di fantascienza, come il "ciclo di Pellucidar" e il "ciclo di Marte".

Third and final installment of Burrough's Caspak series takes on the adventures of Bradley and the other crew members of the U33 after Bowen J.

After Bowen Tyler went missing and sent a message in a bottle letting the world know he was marooned on the legendary island of Caprona, his faithful secretary and friend, Tom Billings organizes a rescue expedition.

Captain John Carter returns to Mars to find himself embattled with the real live manifestations of Barsoomian mythology. He must win his way to freedom, then fight them to save his beloved Dejah Thoris. 

It all starts with a message in a bottle, a cry for help from a lost world. Submarine manufacturer Bowen Tyler was on an Atlantic journey to Europe, when his boat was torpedoed by one of his own submarines. He manages to survive, along with his faithful dog, Nobs, and with a little help from a passing tug boat, capture the U33, the very submarine that he built, and that had torpedoed him. With the German crew and the English tug crew, they drift to a lost island, almost as big as a continent, where exist many animals long since extinct elsewhere.

Captain John Carter of the Virginia Cavalry finds himself transported to Mars, and is immediately captured by the great and fierce Thark, Tars Tarkas. While still in captivity, he meets another captive, the raven-haired beauty, Dejah Thoris, grand-daughter of the ruler of Helium, the greatest city-state on all of Mars. John Carter sets about to deliver the beautiful Martian princess from the green men, and realizes that not only is she loved by all the red men of Mars, but she is also the one he loves.
