by Edgar Rice Burroughs (Author), Darrell Schweitzer (Author)
The fifth novel in the Barsoom series, continuing the adventures on Mars with a narrative of captivity, strategy, and survival.
In The Chessmen of Mars, Edgar Rice Burroughs returns to the world of Barsoom, following a new protagonist whose journey intersects with the broader legacy of John Carter and the earlier novels. The narrative centres on capture and confinement within a structured and perilous environment, where intellect and strategy become as essential as strength. The title refers to the living pieces of a Martian game, through which the story explores hierarchy, control, and the precarious nature of freedom.
First published in 1922, the novel forms part of Burroughs's influential series that helped define the planetary romance genre. Combining imaginative world-building with sustained narrative momentum, the Barsoom books established enduring patterns of adventure fiction set beyond Earth. The Chessmen of Mars continues this tradition, offering both continuity for established readers and a self-contained narrative shaped by conflict and resolution.
