Unknown to Tara, Gahan of Gathol disguises himself and sets out on a dangerous mission to save her, which ends with their capture in the city of Manator. They are thrown into a lethal game of live chess, where the capture of any piece prompts a duel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fifth installment in the Barsoom series, stands out for its inventive integration of the game of Jetan, a Martian chess variant that vividly incorporates the theme of real-life strategy and combat into the narrative. This game, played with living pieces on a grand board, mirrors the novel's larger conflicts and dramatizes its social and political intrigues. Burroughs' blend of fantastical settings with the intellectual and physical challenges of Jetan provides a distinctive twist that enriches the series' exploration of Martian culture and society. \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 212\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 14, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45750573170885,"sku":"9781778785382","price":57.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/d3DpCJk4bY9781778785382.webp?v=1770199729","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-chessmen-of-mars-royal-collectors-edition-case-laminate-hardcover-with-jacket-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
