The Gods of Mars 火星众神
The Gods of Mars is a 1918 Edgar Rice Burroughs science fiction novel, the second of his famous Barsoom series. It was first published in All-Story as a five-part serial in the issues for January-May 1913. It was later published as a complete novel by A. C. McClurg in September, 1918.
Throughout his novels, Burroughs uses the classic device of a fictional Foreword or Preface that suggests that the contents of the following story reflect true events.
十二年前,我把弗吉尼亚的曾祖父约翰·卡特船长安放在远离尘嚣、地处里士满古老墓地中一座神奇的陵墓里。十二年前,我读过这位非凡人物的不同寻常的手稿。
