The Gods of Mars (version 2)
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Read by Thomas A. Copeland
In this second volume of the Barsoom series, John Carter returns to Mars to learn that his heroic effort to salvage the atmosphere plant saved the planet's inhabitants, but he finds himself in the land of the dead. Luck restores his friends and even his son to him, and with them he escapes his imprisonment after unmasking (but not deposing) the cruel "goddess" Issus. He finds the Martians unready, however, to fling off their ancient religion and face the frightful truth of what "eternal peace" awaits those who make the voluntary pilgrimage to the Valley Dor. Worse, his wife's father and grandfather have failed to return from searching for him, and his wife in despair has taken the fatal pilgrimage down the River Iss. In their absence his worst enemy has seized power, and since John Carter has committed the unforgivable crime of returning from the land of the dead, all agree—for different reasons and with different intentions—that he must return to it. (Summary by T. A. Copeland) (8 hr 41 min)

Reviews
Another Outstanding Reading!
djedi1701@gmail.com
As always, another outstanding performance by Mr.Copeland! I always enjoy books this gentleman reads; it's almost like listening to a one-man play; Mr. Copeland provides not just the words, but the appropriate emotional content as well. Thanks again for your dedication and hard work; I have trouble reading for myself due to serious eye problems; thanks to you, I can still enjoy many of my favorite classics!
Awesome!

I love this series! Too many great things about this story and the characters to mention. Copeland does a great job reading - the voice of Issus is especially creative and repulsive at the same time.... but that's only fitting for such a thing as she. On to the next book! Long live John Carter and Dejah Thoris!

Copeland ' s readings are a bit more measured than others here, but well worth the extra time for the even tone, expression, and gravity he brings to the table. very happy to see his versions of 3, 4, and 5.

Thomas Copeland's readings are better than many of the premium titles over at Audible.com. He puts his heart into his tellings, he loves Burroughs and it shows. Thank you, Mr. Copeland, for your wonderful efforts. They are much appreciated.
EXCELLENT Reader

Great old fashioned adventure story that foreshadowed Stars Wars and many new sci-fi stories. Thomas Copeland is absolutely the best reader of the many books that I have heard, head and shoulders above every other.
Well Played
