Warlord of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs was first published in 1913. It was the third book in an eleven part series known as the Barsoom Chronicles which relate to a sequence of exciting adventure tales set on the fictional planet of Barsoom. In the Barsoom series, Mars, assumed to be older than Earth, is a dying planet. “Barsoom” is the native word for Mars in the Martian language. The stories first appeared in serialized form in various magazines like All-Story, Argosy, Amazing Stories and The Blue Book. They were later compiled into book form and were hugely popular in their day. Edgar Rice Burroughs, known more famously as the creator of the Lord of the Jungle, Tarzan, was an extremely prolific American writer who churned out potboilers by the hundreds. His work covered several genres including science fiction, adventure tales, historical sagas and Westerns. Though literary critics carped at what they called “pulp fiction” Burroughs’ influence on generations of young people in search of excitement and adventure is undeniable. He influenced “more serious” writers to explore the world of Sci-Fi writing. Burroughs was also extremely media savvy and far ahead of his time about marketing his work. Tarzan was converted into a bestselling comic strip, film rights were sold, Tarzan theme parks and merchandise were planned. The Barsoom series is based on the expedition of Earthmen to Mars by a mysterious method of transportation that involves astral projection. John Carter an American Civil War veteran travels to Mars, engages in fierce battles for supremacy with various denizens of the Red Planet and falls in love with and marries one of its lovely inhabitants. In Warlord of Mars, the hero, John Carter’s mission is to rescue his wife Princess Dejah Thoris who has been imprisoned by the evil Goddess Issus. Carter explores deeper and further into the planet’s far flung regions and discovers all manner of fantastic creatures who he has to vanquish to gain the title of Warlord of Mars. In the Barsoom series, Burroughs has created an entire fictional universe, complete with history, geography, politics, religion and people with their own set of values. He based much of his work on the scientific information available at the time and used it to create these fantasy worlds. For Sci-Fi fans, Warlord of Mars is indeed a gripping and entertaining read.

Originally serialized from 1898 to 1903, Wells later made some crucial changes to the piece to create a flawless dystopian science fiction novel published in 1910 and renamed The Sleeper Awakes. The novel focuses on an Englishman, who falls in a deep sleep lasting two centuries, and sees him wake up in an unrecognizable setting and extremely wealthy. An enthralling tale of dystopian society depicted through a colorful imagination, The Sleeper Awakes concentrates on topics including dystopia, political power, religion, plutocracy, and individual and social awakening. The story opens in London in the year 1897, and introduces its protagonist Graham, who is despondent over his inability to fall sleep. Left without much choice, he turns to medication, which instead of offering temporary relief induces a coma-like trance. Waking up disoriented and in an unfamiliar setting, Graham discovers that he has been in a deep slumber, which has lasted for over two centuries. Moreover, he comes to knowledge that he is extremely rich due to an inheritance, which has been accumulating interest in a trust under his name. The protagonist also finds out that his wealth has been used to run the world, supposedly on his behalf, by the White Council. His awakening not only presents a personal struggle with disorientation, but it also triggers a large-scale revolution which aims to overthrow the current government. Consequently, Graham must not only adjust to the alien futuristic world, but he must also manage his prestigious position in society and produce a much needed leader to guide the revolution. So begins his enlightening journey, as he learns of the troubling regime of the ruling power, and must choose whether to live up to his designation as a savior, or forfeit his voice to the established authority. Interestingly, Wells makes some accurate technological and social predictions about the future, which many will find exciting considering the time of its composition. Some of these forecasts include the vivid descriptions of television, airplanes, windmills and vending machines. The novel presents a model of dystopia, as it revolves around key dystopian elements including a division between social classes, dehumanization, and the realization of the injustice administered under authoritarian rule. Wells’ wild imagination, descriptive imagery, and social critique make the novel a compelling and insightful piece of literature.
