Gulliver of Mars is a novel written by Edwin L. Arnold. Lieutenant Gulliver Jones, U.S. Navy, unexpectedly arrived on Mars and immediately fell in love with adventure. Because Mars was a world filled with ancient civilizations, wrecked buildings, copper-skinned swordsmen, and strange and amazing creatures. A princess needed to be saved, the River of Death had to be crossed, and a weird prophecy needed to be fulfilled. Here is a long-forgotten interplanetary adventure classic that some science-fiction specialists believe might have served as an inspiration to the legendary Edgar Rice Burroughs. Despite not being a Burroughs book, Gulliver of Mars by Edwin L. Arnold will be a great reading treat for everyone who has ever loved a Barsoom story. The story's hero's quest is not ended once he has found Princess Heru because what he thinks is a comet is wreaking havoc on Mars. The people are dying from the extreme heat and lack of rain, and Gullivar is unable to return with Princess Heru until it does. Gulliver can only help Princess Heru live in this situation, but he is also worried that their independence, which he had achieved, will not be respected once the threat has passed.
