[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2684964, member: 2205"] That's actually a more complicated question than it should be. It was originally published under the pen-name of Edward Powys Bradbury as three little novels, called [i]Warriors of Mars, Blades of Mars[/i] and [i]Barbarians of Mars[/i]. They were later republished under his real name with completely different titles--[i]City of the Beast, Lord of the Spiders[/i] and [i]Masters of the Pit.[/i] The version I read was all three novels combined into one (it was still only 350 pages or less--they were pretty small novels. As was normal for sci-fi published in 1965, I guess) and was called [i]Kane of Old Mars[/i] published by White Wolf in the 90s. That version is actually harder to get a hold of than the earlier ones (well, more expensive anyway) but I found a copy at the public library in the community just north of us. Because we have a sharing agreement with them, I popped up there, validated my local library card with their system, and brought it home. Neither have I. It seems the thing that's selling these days is all this epic pseudo-Tolkienian soap opera. Which, don't get me wrong, some of it I enjoy, but I'm finding that my tastes have branded me as "old fashioned" anymore. That's why I'm writing my own Sword and Planet stories. :heh: I'm trying to not just rehash Burroughs though--if I can't bring something new to the table, why bother? I have no ambition to publish them; I don't think anyone's buying Sword and Planet these days, so I'll just post them online. I'm just writing them for fun anyway. [/QUOTE]
