EXCELLENT, VINTAGE BURROUGHS.......2005-03-15
While not the best known of the Mars series, this is, in my opinion one of the better ones, and I am one of those who like them all. As with the rest of the Burroughs's books, the reader must constantly keep in mind when they were written. This is some fo the best pulp fiction out there. If you have never read any of this series, then you are missing something. If, like me, you first read them as a small child, then you are in for a nice nostalgic ride. I like to crack these out of by book tomb ever few years and read them just for the fun of it. Highly recommend this one.
An ERB Martian novel that synthesizes what came before.......2003-08-29
Ras Thavas, the Mastermind of Mars, returns in "Synthetic Men of Mars," the ninth Martian novel from pulp fiction master Edgar Rice Burroughs. Originally serialized in six-parts in "Argosy Weekly" in early 1939, this story brings together many of the characters in the series, which was ERB's best. When Dejah Thoris, princess of Helium, is seriously injured in a collision of two airships, John Carter seeks out Ras Thavas, the greatest surgeon on Barsoom, to repair her broken back. The story is told by Vor Daj, a young padwar who accompanies Carter when he goes to search for the scientist's former assistant, Vad Varo, in Duhor. This time around the framing device is that the story was translated into English by Ulysses Paxton (Vad Varo), who then sent it to Jason Gridley on Earth via the Gridley wave. At first it look like ERB is trying something different, and that instead of his hero searching Barsoom for his beloved, Carter is searching for someone to help his wife. But then Vor Daj is unattached, which means he is going to stumble across his own damsel in distress while accompanying the Warlord of Mars on his mission and take on the central role in the adventure.
The title of the story comes from the race of supermen that Thavas is creating when Carter and Vor Daj finally find him. The experiments are not going well, but no matter how deformed they are these creatures want to live. With World War II right around the corner there is obviously a sub-text for this novel that has to do with the rise of totalitarianism, especially when the synthetic men decide they would rather conquer Barsoom than be its slaves. But what readers of the Martian series will notice the most is that ERB is throwing in a little bit of everything into this novel from his previous efforts, such as assassins, a new race of living heads, escaping from a prison, and a big battle between the Jeds. However, with the growing mass of tissue in Vat 4 in Morbus, there are some actually horror elements in this ERB potboiler as well.
Consequently, "The Synthetic Men of Mars" is pretty much the generic Martian novel written by Burroughs, incorporating a little bit of everything from what has gone on before. That is right: this novel is essentially a synthesis of the previous eight volumes. The result is a standard Burroughs adventure and the last decent volume in the series.
A WAY-OUT BUT CARELESS ENTRY IN THE CARTER SERIES.......2003-04-03
"Synthetic Men of Mars" is the 9th of 11 books in Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars series. It first appeared serially in "Argosy Magazine" in early 1939, and is one of the most way-out entries in the Carter series. The book may be seen as a sequel of sorts to book #6, "The Master Mind of Mars," in that Ras Thavas, the eponymous superbrain of that earlier work, here makes a return, and the bulk of the action once again takes place in the dismal and forbidding Toonolian Marshes of Barsoom (Mars, to you and me). In "Synthetic Men," Carter and one of his lieutenants, Vor Daj, go in search of Ras Thavas, to enlist his aid when Carter's wife is critically injured in a midair collision. Thavas is engaged in creating an army of synthetic men (the so-called hormads), who have taken over an island in the Toonolian Marshes, made an unwilling slave of Ras Thavas himself, and are now plotting to take over all of Barsoom. Things get pretty wild when Vor Daj has his brain put into one of the hormad's bodies, so that he might better protect a pretty female prisoner who is being held on the island also. Then things go over the top completely, as one of the vats in which the hormads are created goes blooey, and a giant blob of living tissue spreads and spreads and threatens to envelop the entire planet! This blob is comprised of living heads and hands and other body parts; it feeds on itself and seemingly cannot be stopped. All this takes place in the first half of the novel; things get even hairier, if possible, in the final stages of the tale. Before all is said and done, we have been treated to a civil war amongst the hormads, an escape through the swamps of Toonol, encounters with giant insects and reptiles, a marsupial society, wild swamp savages, a Martian zoo, a tense little air battle, and the final confrontation with that living blob mass. It's as if Burroughs ate a headcheese and Fluffernutter sandwich before going to bed one night, had the wildest dream, and the next morning put it down on paper. The book has nice touches of incidental humor, and Vor Daj's predicament of being trapped in the body of a monstrous hormad while trying to win the affection of the girl of his dreams is an involving one. This leads to John Carter delivering one of his most touching lines: "It is the character that makes the man...not the clay which is its abode." So what we have here is a fantastic tale of wild imagination, with some touching passages and incessant action.
So why, then, have I only given this novel three stars? Well, as with most Carter novels, there are problems of inconsistency, and this novel contains one of the worst in the entire series. During the swamp escape, Vor Daj is accompanied by a party of five others, including a man named Gan Had, who later deserts him. Later in the book, it is stated that this deserter was named Pandar, one of the others of the five. The two characters are mixed up and confused by Burroughs for the remainder of the book, to the point that the reader doesn't know who Burroughs is talking about. This is a terrible and egregious error, I feel. I have discussed it with the founder of the ERB List, a really fine Burroughs Website, and he has told me that he and others have concocted some explanations for this seemingly incredible screwup, while admitting that the reader must read between the lines and do some mythmaking of his/her own to explain it. This giant problem aside, there is also the inconsistency of a character named Ur Raj, who is said to hail from the Barsoomian nation of Ptarth, and four pages later is said to be from the nation of Helium. This is the kind of sloppiness that I, as a copy editor, find especially deplorable. I also regret the fact that the ultimate fate of some of the book's main characters (Sytor, Gan Had and Ay-mad) is never mentioned. Another example of careless writing, I feel. "Synthetic Men of Mars" is a wonderful entertainment, but could have been made so much better by the exercise of just a little more care on the part of the author and his editors. Still, I quite enjoyed it, and do recommend it to any lover of fantastic literature.
One of the top three books in the series.......2000-12-16
The incomparable Dejah Thoris is injured and only the dangerous scientist Ras Thavas (The Master Mind of Mars) can save her life. So John Carter, the Warlord of Barsoom, sets out with a single companion, Vor Daj, to bring Thavas back from the Toonolian Marsh in time to operate on the dying princess.
Alas! Nothing goes right, and Carter and Daj are forced to make the most difficult choices of their lives. All Barsoom is threatened by Thavas' latest mad scheme, and it falls to Vor Daj to keep a lid on things until Carter can bring all his power to bear against the threat. In one of the best race-against-time stories ever written, the reader is forced to turn page after page to keep pace with all the setbacks, double-crosses, and unbelievable strokes of good fortune.
Along the way, the author pokes a little fun at a few long-cherished social conventions and hooty-tooty groups. But the most resounding comment of all is the statement that true friendship knows no boundaries, and that love is solidly based in friendship. This is simply a great and thoroughly enjoyable book to read.
Classic Pulp. Wonderful concept........2000-06-09
A likeable, action-packed book--perhaps not as memorable as the author's Tarzan series, but admittedly, unquestionably =different=. That is to say, ERB's writing style isn't really different, and his pacing is typically breakneck, but it is a different topic, with some original ideas.
What's also fun, nearly 80 years later, is to read the thinly-disguised social commentary that ERB inserts into his work. One of the Tarzan books includes a section on a society destroyed by income tax--a new idea in ERB's time, and one that he personally was affected by. This book contains a short section on how streets should be engineered to speed traffic along. It isn't exactly a description of a freeway, but it's darned close!
Anyway, like all great pulp, a sense of adventure pervades and you're left both satisfied with the story and wanting more. They just don't write 'em like this anymore

ERB's last really good Barsoom novel and a synthetic potboiler.......2006-03-03
This volume brings together the eighth and ninth volumes in Edgar Rice Burrough's Barsoom series (Mars to you Earthlings). What you will find is the last first-rate pulp fiction yarn in the series, and one that is really just a hodge-podge of what has come before. "Swords of Mars" brings John Carter back to the forefront after being relegated to the background for the previous four Martian novels. This time he vows to bring an end to the Assassins Guild and travels to one of Barsoom's moons. Carter shows up at Burroughs' cabin in the mountains of Arizona and relates this tale, which ERB then serialized in six issues of "The Blue-Book Magazine" in 1934-35. Carter has created a secret organization of super assassins to strike back against the powerful guild of assassins, which is headquartered in the city of Zodanga, and goes to the city undercover to infiltrate their ranks. As the first step in an attempt to overthrow Ur Jan, the head of the assassins, Carter pretends to be a panthan and becomes the body guard of Fal Sivas, an inventor. Eventually, as he gets closer to his goal, Carter has to go to Thuria, one of the moons of Mars.
For the most part "Swords of Mars" is one of the most intimate novels in the series, by which I simply mean that it does not have the gigantic armies of variously colored Barsoomians and thousands of air ships arrayed in battle. The first half of the novel is basically a spy story, while the second half find Burroughs indulging in one of his imaginative flights of fancy. Of course, it is not an ERB Martian novel if Carter's beloved Dejah Thoris, princess of Helium, does not need to be rescued. Just because ERB sticks to his pulp fiction formula does not distract from the fact he was a master of the form. This is an above average Burroughs yarn and while it is a step below his best Martian tales, such as "The Chessmen of Mars," it is still a compelling tale. Best of all, John Carter is back front and center. I wound rate this novel as a 4.5, but you have to round up for Carter's return. Notice that the first letters of the first words in the preface and twenty-four chapters from an acrostic message: "TO FLORENCE WITH ALL MY LOVE ED." The reference is to Florence Gilbert, ERB's second wife, whom he married in 1935.
Ras Thavas, the Mastermind of Mars, returns in "Synthetic Men of Mars," the ninth Martian novel, which originally appeared in six-parts in "Argosy Weekly" in early 1939, this story brings together many of the characters in the series. When Dejah Thoris, princess of Helium, is seriously injured in a collision of two airships, John Carter seeks out Ras Thavas, the greatest surgeon on Barsoom, to repair her broken back. The story is told by Vor Daj, a young padwar who accompanies Carter when he goes to search for the scientist's former assistant, Vad Varo, in Duhor.

Consequently, "The Synthetic Men of Mars" is pretty much the most generic Martian novel written by Burroughs, incorporating a little bit of everything from what has gone on before. That is right, boys and girls, this novel is essentially a synthesis of the previous eight volumes (irony abounds). The result is a standard Burroughs adventure and the last decent volume in the series. From here there are just a few pulp fiction scraps from ERB.
Product Description
Though he is best known as the creator of Tarzan, Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) began his writing career in 1911 with a tale called Dejah Thoris, Martian Princess. Thus his 11-book Barsoom series, featuring John Carter, Warlord of Mars, was born. With this exclusive omnibus, the third in our series, the SFBC gathers three more of these classic tales, adventures set on a brutal world where fierce green warriors roam the dead sea bottom and red men rule a civilization of decaying splendor.
A Fighting Man of Mars: When a nobleman's daughter is abducted at the point of a gun that can disintegrate metal, it portends great danger for the empire of Helium. To rescue the woman he loves and locate the source of the gun, Hadron of Hastor must run the gauntlet of giant Martians, man-eating apes and a xenophobic city where he is sentenced to The Deatha place of roiling horror that will carry him to the weapon's mad inventor...and a surprising twist of fate.
Swords of Mars: John Carter hires on as bodyguard to Fal Sivas, a scientist who steals ideas from other inventors and then has them killed. Sivas' greatest inventiona spaceship run by a mechanical braincomes in handy when Carter's wife, Dejah Thoris, is taken hostage on a moon of Mars. There, inside a castle built of precious gems, the Carters' fates may be sealed...unless they can foil invisible foes, cannibalistic cat-men and a powerful guild of assassins.
Synthetic Men of Mars: In a vat on an island in the Toonolian Marshes, a grand experiment has gone awry. Ras Thavas, the Master Mind of Mars, has learned the secret of growing humans from a single cell, but now these invulnerable warriors have taken control and cloned an army to conquer the world. As John Carter and young warrior Vor Daj discover, the only thing worse than a monster that cannot die is a giant writhing mass of thema grotesque mutation that will grow to consume everything in its path.

A Treasure!.......2007-08-27
I have read all of the books in the Barsoom or Mars series, many times. I read a great deal and there are very few books I would read even twice, let alone 6 or 8 times. I have given them to others of all ages, male and female, and I have never yet heard someone say they didn't love these books! I highly recommend them to anyone! They contain no sexual situations or cursing so they are suitable for children and teens but the stories are imaginative and well written so that even adults will find the books hard to put down. There are 11 books in the Mars series and about 5 books in a Venus series that are equally fun to read. The first book in the Mars series is called A Princess of Mars. Start there and let the journey begin!

Book Description
Escape with John Carter once again into the incredibly imagined world of Edgar Rice Burroughs; Barsoom-a romantic and fantastical vision of the planet Mars populated by strange peoples and even stranger creatures. In Synthetic Men of Mars, Carter is joined in his adventure by Vor Daj, one of his courageous, young, red warriors; together they venture into new lands in search of Rav Thavas-the mastermind of Mars-and perhaps the only one who can restore the beautiful Deja Thoris to health. Thavas, however, is preoccupied with sinister and dangerous plans of his own. In Llana of Gathol, the tenth adventure, Carter fi nds himself incarcerated in the Pits of Horz, with giant rats for company-then the dead rise from their tombs and the heroic exploits really begin.

Leonaur Ltd. is publishing the definitive Edgar Rice Burroughs 21st century editions. These usually contain 2 books of the different ERB major series in order - thus far John Carter, Pellucidar, and Carson of Venus. In the future, possibly Tarzan!
These books are handsome and my rating is mainly based on this - the ERB fan knows best about the rest of it.
This volume contains the 9th and 10th books of the John Carter of Mars series. As I mentioned before, ERB maintained a high standard of quality troughout this entire series.

Every night as we lay down to sleep we practice a form of death, according to Richard Neuhaus in As I Lay Dying. The rhythm of life and death is indeed as natural as the rhythm of waking and sleeping. But few of us know it as literally as does Neuhaus, who found himself drifting in and out of consciousness after a tumor ruptured his intestines and the subsequent botched surgery caused internal hemorrhaging. One night he was visited by two beings, which he calls angels, who assured him that "Everything is ready now." Dramatic as all this sounds, As I Lay Dying is not so much Neuhaus's near-death-experience tale as it is a Christian discussion of death from the vantage point of a Catholic priest who heard death knocking at his door.
This is not a feel-good book about the white light and smiling family members at the end of the tunnel. Relying on Scripture, Catholic doctrine, and the words of poets and famous writers, Neuhaus ponders questions such as: Can the soul live on, separate from the body? Is it possible to have death with dignity? How is it that we can be propelled into a tailspin of grief over one death, but be indifferent to the ethnic slaughter of millions in central Africa? Is there really life after death? Christians who are close to death, whether it be their own or that of a loved one, may find this a useful companion, if only for Neuhaus's willingness to shed light on our darkest fears while being brave enough to not know all the answers. --Gail Hudson
Book Description
As I Lay Dying tells the story of one person's encounter with death and what he learned from that encounter. Richard John Neuhaus has been to the very edge of mortality, and he has lived to tell about it--with deep wisdom, relentless realism, unconquerable hope, and more than a touch of humor. This is a book of meditations for religious believers, unbelievers, and those who are not sure what they believe. Beautifully written, intellectually probing, and uncompromisingly candid, As I Lay Dying shakes the foundation of our being, and then leads, oddly but unconvincingly, to a peave that is on the far side of our fear and our despair.

Richard John Neuhaus: As I Lay Dying.......2007-08-08
When you are a Catholic of certain sympathies, you have a strange feeling opening a "little book" like this. I get the same feeling when I see an opinion piece by Peggy Noonan or George Weigel; I'm not sure if I can describe it. You like the writer - they're sort of on your side - but you inevitably come away wondering if you can really trust what they wrote. I don't know if trust is the right word. It's about the images they use and the memories they awaken; you wonder if they're exactly right. It's not a matter of intelligence or talent. You can't really blame them for not being poets, they've never claimed to be. But they like poets and they quote or otherwise evoke them. And you dread the evocation because you might not be able to believe in it; it will have been somehow trivialized or changed along the way. And you regret it because there are few enough people "on your side" and you want to feel good about those already there, especially those with the courage to speak. And these are good writers.
But this little book is different from what I expected. Fr. Neuhaus humbly anticipates those feelings - he almost shares them - and weaves them into the style of his meditations:
"These are snatches of philosophy, theology, biography, poetry, and heaven knows what else, all churning, as I discovered them churning, around the question of what was happening to the me I call 'I'" (137).
That is a good thing to say, for several reasons. It is, in part, an apology for the kind of book that it is - but an apology that would not, in the end, preclude its writing; it does, in fact, call for it. It is also a kind of apology for the lack of a "definitive authority" (and thereby, a lack of apparent "coherence") for he does not claim to know what is operative in the "churning," that is, he does not really know the kind or source of the strength that binds his disparate thoughts together. He only marks a certain consistency guiding his thoughts by which he is able to bring them together into a piece of writing.
This deference before the sharpened possibility of death explains his willingness to speak with different voices, using the words of poets, philosophers, and novelists together with his own and those of his friends and family, that is, it is a statement of style, alluding also to a "justification" for that style. It is never a celebration of his own erudition (which is, nevertheless, considerable). It has often been said that the novel is the only kind of writing where this "crossing of disciplines"is appropriate (if it is ever appropriate). But, in the end, it is not really the author's "fault" that he thought what he thought as he lay dying. As he says, "death is the death of explanation" (124). To write in this way is to give up explanation as the usual "motive" for writing. In a time that seemingly belongs to "experts" and "scientists" this book is an important reflection on why and how we write at all.
Neuhaus on death and dying.......2007-05-03
This short book is sub-titled "Meditations Upon Returning". It is written by former Lutheran minister now Catholic convert-priest Richard John Neuhaus. Neuhaus is the editor of the interfaith journal First Things, and a prolific author and commentator.
Neuhaus spends the first part of the book musing on life and death, and then writes about his own experience of illness, misdiagnosis, colon cancer, botched surgery, ICU, and almost dying in 1995. He offers some cogent reflections on the experience, based on his own faith and clinging to that faith.
On page 112, Neuhaus describes the strange experience/vision he had a few days after leaving ICU. Rather then describing it as a "near death" experience, he says "I am inclined to think of it as a 'near life' experience."
"...All of a sudden I was jerked into an utterly lucid state of awareness. ... By the drapery were two 'presences.' I saw them and yet did not see them, and I cannot explain that ... And then the presences - one or both of them, I do not know - spoke. This I heard clearly. Not in an ordinary voice, for I cannot remember anything about the voice. But the message was beyond mistaking: 'Everything is ready now.'
That was it. ..."
Neuhaus goes on to discuss this event in the context of his whole experience of sickness, near-death and rocovery. He draws no concrete conclusions, beyond affirming that it was a real occurrence and he drew some comfort from it.
The book is a quick read - less then 170 pages long, and is a good account of one man's confrontation with mortality and what he learned from it. Neuhaus weaves a great deal of Christian reflection, philosophy, poetry, and literature into his narrative. It is much more then just an analysis of the strange experience recounted above.
So, the interesting reflection of a Christian intellectual believer facing his own possible death around the age of 60.
What it's like to die.......2006-06-06
I hate to beat up on a guy who practically died, but having suffered through this tedious little book, he owes me.
"As I Lay Dying" is a well-meaning book by a very intelligent, well-placed and well-read Catholic priest who (sadly) has nothing much to say. The book is an endless, detached musing on the meaning of death, on the experience of dying, and on the thoughts of poets, saints and philosophers. But it adds up to very little in the end. Neuhaus offers very few definitive insights and few interesting stories. He knocks (rightly) the dopey bravado we assume when facing death as well as our inability to help our loved ones to face the end of their lives. But these insights are told in passing -- as though he is retelling tales learned from others. Neuhaus tells little of his own story -- you don't even know what was making him sick until a third of the way through the book. (Spoiler: a tumor caused his colon to rupture -- now you know!) His suppositions and musings circle and circle aimlessly on the winds of his own meandering reminiscences.
I picked up this book as an aid to a family member who lost her father. She never made it past the dust jacket. It was a wise decision: the book would not have helped her in her own grief.
Some may interpret my harshness as my confession to being shallow. So be it. But now I know what it is like to wait for death; it is like reading this book.
last things.......2005-09-14
Very interesting and objective report on the actuality of being face to face with death. I hope it will be of help to me when it comes my time to know that this is it - I'm dying - I am about to face my God right this minute, and give an account of my life. No second chance, no excuses. Better be prepared.
Open and honest............2005-07-08
I became aware of Fr. Richard John Neuhaus through the many publications which cite his works. As he is so highly esteemed by so many, I was soon familiar with the magazine "First Things" which eventually led to this book. The prospect of death is a frightening thing, no how-to manual guides us through it, no expert is around to consult. Thus, it is somewhat illuminating to have a theologian of Neuhaus's stature relate in a brutally honest manner the experience of nearly dying. This is no mamby-pamby, it'll be OK, self-help session. This is a coming to terms; a frank look at the inevitable.
Neuhaus barely escaped the clutches of cancer and it is the wisdom accrued during this momentous occasion that he attempts to pass on to the reader. I read this book in two sittings. It is compelling in both it's simple honesty and the complexity of it's ramifications.
With death at the door, Neuhaus claims the experience of a lifetime - an experience, no doubt, that has amplified his life and removed the sharper edges from the knowledge of an ultimate day. Having taken it all in, I do not know that I am more prepared to die, but, certainly, I am more prepared to appreciate the value of a life well lived. For this alone, As I Lay Dying is worth reading. 5 stars.
