Marc Weston Comments
I just finished reading your story. Being a long time fan of Burroughs Barsoom series (first read A Princess of Mars in 1969), I was a little skeptical. After reading many fairly ordinary fan written stories, I didn't expect much.
Having said that, I would now like to say… Thank you for bringing my childhood hero into the 21st century. I like having John Carter as more human than super human. The comparison between the old world values and the modern is a great touch. I did find it a little preachy in parts, in regards to the environment, but we could all be a little more concerned with our own plight here on Earth. I think rebuilding Barsoom is going to prove a lot easier.
Ras Thavas was always one of my favourite characters, nice to see him in the thick of things.
A great read, I think Burroughs would have approved. Great characterizations, fleshing out the old and developing the new. I look forward to reading the second installment.
Thank you again,
