Jerry Morgan, a man with no future on Earth, is offered a new life on Mars. He starts out on the wrong foot, meeting a princess and killing the fearsome-looking Martian beast he takes to be menacing her, which actually turns out to be her pet. From there Morgan becomes entangled in the politics of the Byzantine Martian royal court, spurns the advances of a would-be lover, escapes his hosts and role as an expendable political pawn. Various adventures follow, with dazzling swordplay, feats of strength, and other trials, tribulations and treacheries. Kline's Mars has multiple parallel canals, surrounded by walls and terraces, and the construction of the canals by Martian machines is described. The story has a race-war element that may jar the modern reader. Jerry Morgan, a man with no future on Earth, is offered a new life on Mars.

This short novel was apparently part of a feud between the author and Edgar Rice Burroughs in the 1930's. The story is very obviously a rip-off of Burroughs' John Carter of Mars stories. It even screams it at you on the covers, front and back. Nevertheless I thought it could be a very fun read - these planetary romances were enjoyable adventures to read when I was a teen and the best ones are still fun to read. This story started well but as far as I'm concerned quickly turned into old dishwater. Not terrible for what it is, just not very good and it literally put me to sleep.

I read a 1961 Ace paperback edition. It shows the original publication was 1933. ( )

A very good follow up to The Swordsman of Mars. Here Richard Morgan, the brilliant scientist who initiated the events of that great novel, has figured out how to send his falsely disgraced soldier nephew Jerry Morgan bodily to Mars. Not an exchange of minds like before. Jerry Morgan lands straight in the middle of misunderstandings, political intrigue and lots of deadly action. This novel moves fast but very logically. The fighting is fierce and the women while very beautiful are far from demure, de-clawed and dumb. The supporting cast is wonderful if not fully as fleshed out as could be. This is a very fun planetary romance read
