comment on how it is just a gender reversed John Carter and a rip off or parody but really it is soooo muchthan that I will refrain from comparing the similarities of the two book series and instead

sour notes.What is it are they The author s views pop out now and then at annoying times giving Jane a discordant self righteous sound that is at odds with the character Too bad about that My take of course and some might not even notice what annoyed me Other than that what we have her is a fun action read Take the general idea and plot of ERB s Mars Barsoom John Carter Replace John Carter with a big, In many ways this book could almo...IN A NUTSHELL I tend to judge books based on how they make me feel and I had a GREAT time listening to this audio book Jane Carver is a tall red haired muscled bad ass biker chick with a potty mouth, a brave impulsive heart and I have a crush on her The world building was solid, the story and plot exciting and easy to follow with descriptions vivid enough that I had no problems picturing the planet WAAR and all of it s inhabitants Did I mention how funny it was SUMMARY Jane rebuffs this dr IN A NUTSHELL I tend to jud...Fun, from cover to cover, pretty

around clad in a chain mail bikini and gets to kick some serious ass What s not to love Seriously Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to love it, I only kind of liked it It was good, enjoyable, and, at

as mere swashbuckling fantasy, not science fiction, and I was a bit of a snob about science fiction I guess I still am, but boy, was Jane Carver of Waar a fun read Which, I guess, means one doesn t have to have a grounding in Burroughs John Carter books to appreciate what Nathan Long is doing with Jane Carver She s a gas, very like some biker chicks I know in real life, and I d want her on my

grant her superhuman strength Here she teams up with two nobles from Waar to right some wrongs and, hopefully, get herself back home B If I could I would give this book two ratings The first would be

conclusion.On its own, this book is average The tough biker chick Army ranger persona is different, but it doesn t always work At times it s funny, and at other times it just seems a little silly The plot is, truly, melodramatic So much is over the top that it reads a lot like a 1960s dastardly v...If you want entertainment, laughs, adventureIf you enjoyed, for example, the Princess BrideIf you
