Princess of Mars (Mars (del Rey Books Numbered)) (Barsoom) indir kitap bedava

Suddenly projected to Mars, John Carter found himself captive of the savage green men of Thark. With him was Dejah Thoris, lovely Princess of Helium. And between them and rescue lay a thousand miles of deadly enemies and unknown dangers.

I felt the steel tear into my chest and all went black before me. . . .
