Summary "The Chessmen of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story continues the adventures of John Carter, Warlord of Mars, and introduces his daughter, Tara of Helium, as she navigates the complex and often dangerous society of Barsoom. As Tara seeks romance and adventure, her journey unfolds amidst thrilling encounters, including encounters with bizarre creatures and the politics of Martian nobility. At the start of the novel, the narrative shifts between a conversation between John Carter and his son, who connect over a game of chess, and the introduction of Tara, who is preparing for a social gathering at the palace. Tara's character is portrayed as spirited and curious, but she wrestles with her emotions regarding marriage and potential suitors, particularly the conflict arising from feelings towards Djor Kantos and Gahan of Gathol. As she flies away in search of adventure, she becomes ensnared in a tumultuous storm that takes her far from home and into a world filled with danger, including monstrous creatures and strange societies, setting the stage for her quest and challenges ahead.
