Synopsis
I am a very old man; how old I do not know. Possibly I am a hundred, possibly more; but I cannot tell because I have never aged as other men, nor do I remember any childhood. So far as I can recollect I have always been a man, a man of about thirty. I appear today as I did forty years and more ago, and yet I feel that I cannot go on living forever; that some day I shall die the real death from which there is no resurrection. [Adventures of John Carter in Mars -- from the author of the Tarzan series.]

Classic pulp adventure with sword-fighting action, alien cultures, and peril. Contains period-typical violence but no graphic detail or strong language. The immortal protagonist's age and unchanged appearance are central conceits.
