This book is not highly regarded by fans of the
Barsoom series and is generally considered something of an afterthought. However, in the book
Master of Adventure: The Worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs,
Richard A. Lupoff, the editor of the 1964 Canaveral Press edition of
John Carter of Mars, writes that it is interesting for its contrast between "real" Burroughs (
Skeleton Men of Jupiter) and "ersatz" Burroughs (
John Carter and the Giant of Mars). ==Copyright==
