The new Planet Stories edition of The Swordsman of Mars contains an introduction by Joe R. Lansdale.
Otis Adelbert Kline's final triumphant sword-and-planet epic soars back
into print for the first time in almost 50 years! Jerry Morgan accepts
his scientist uncle's offer to transport him to Mars for a series of
thrilling adventures and exploits featuring terrible monsters,
fantastic societies, and gorgeous princesses in the Edgar Rice
Burroughs tradition. At last presented in the original, unabridged
format last seen in 1934's Argosy Weekly, the new Planet Stories
edition of this science fiction classic restores Kline to his place of
honor in the sword-and-planet field.
