Homage to Burroughs succeeds Interstellar Vagrant City of Beasts/Warriors of Mars succeeds, admirably, at being a homage to the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs. For anyone who is a fan of the genre of Planetary Romance, or who just enjoys well written action, this is a good book to read. Is it high literature? No. Does it make sense with what we know of science today? Not only no, but a resounding no! In the end will you understand the Human Condition better than before? Well, not really.What it is, is a fairly simple straight forward stor. "Good heroic fantasy" according to Ruben Ramirez. The argument is simple as is the writing, but it gives you a great time reading it. If yu like fantasy or adventure, this book, and the rest of the trilogy, is for you.. "A fun read" according to D. Shlafer. City of the Beast was a light, over-the-top adventurous tale that held my interest, but ultimately could have been better.***MINOR SPOILERS***The GoodThe action is non-stop, so there were really no parts of the book that dragged. Combat scenes are lively and the adventure itself was fun. The characters are believable enough (considering the premise), and convey their emotions well. It was easy to identify with the protagonist, and I enjoyed his triumphs and felt the losses when he did.The
