Kane of Old Mars (Sf Masterworks)

The final volume of the seminal Michael Moorcock Collection revisits some of his earliest influences with these tales of Old Mars. Very much intended as an affectionate homage to the Barsoom stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Kane is a John Carter stand-in, an Earthman torn from his home and forced to explore a strange new world, becoming caught up in the political machinations of the strange and wonderful creatures that live there. And, possibly, falling in love. Contains CITY OF THE BEAST, LORD OF THE SPIDERS and MASTERS OF THE PIT.
