Book 6 of the Barsoom Saga - Authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., and Featuring Rare and Previously Unpublished Archival Materials
Transported from the bloody trenches of World War I to the mysterious Red Planet of Barsoom, Captain Ulysses Paxton finds himself indentured in the laboratory scientific genius Ras Thavas. There, under his new name of Vad Varo, the Earthman assists in ghoulish experiments to transfer brains and organs from one living body into another-whether human or otherwise. But when the old and wicked crone Xaxa, Jeddara of Phundahl, exchanges bodies with a young and beautiful maiden named Valla Dia, Vad Varo must revive a motley crew of lab specimens-including a four-armed great white ape with the brain of a man-to escape Ras Thavas' secluded island and correct the heinous wrong . . . or die in the attempt.

About the Author
Garyn G. Roberts (1958- ) first encountered the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs in the 1960s in the Burroughs paperbacks illustrated by Roy G. Krenkel and Frank Frazetta. Eight years old at this time, Roberts was reading Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, featuring the tremendous childhood romance and love story of Tom and Becky Thatcher, and one of the most notorious literary villains since Simon LeGree of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin-Injun Joe-and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (tremendous story but certainly NOT a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer-Roberts was crushed), Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, "Victor Appleton's" Tom Swift series (first series 1910-35), "Franklin W. Dixon's" The Hardy Boys, "Jerry West's" The Happy Hollisters series, works of his later personal friend, Ray Bradbury, and Big Little Books, Sunday newspaper comic pages, and comic books. (With a 25-cent-a-week allowance, young Roberts could purchase two 12-cent comics or one 25-cent supersized comic per week). Then, there was the summer of 1970, when at the age eleven he read Hugh Lofting's complete Doctor Dolittle series in first edition hardcovers from the wonderfully gothic and real-life haunted Mabel Tainter Library of Menomonie, Wisconsin. All of this, combined with the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs, fueled his love of reading. Burroughs' The Master Mind of Mars has long been one of several of his all-time favorite ERB titles.
Joe Jusko is among today's most acclaimed fantasy, pin-up, and comic artists. His work has been featured on book and comic posters, and on the much-praised 1992 Marvel Masterpieces trading cards. Jusko is a recipient of myriad industry honors, including a Certificate of Merit from the Society of Illustrators and a 2001 Chesley Award nomination. Fittingly, he was born on September 1, sharing his birthday with Edgar Rice Burroughs. Jusko's longtime love of Burroughs' work continues to inspire him in illustrating the Authorized Library and bringing the author's creative vision to life.
