Jane Carver is nobody's idea of a space princess.
A hard-ridin', hard-lovin' biker chick and ex-Airborne Ranger, Jane is as surprised as anyone else when, on the run from the law, she ducks into the wrong cave at the wrong time–and wakes up butt-naked on an exotic alien planet light-years away from everything she's ever known.
Waar is a savage world of four-armed tiger-men, sky-pirates, slaves, gladiators, and purple-skinned warriors in thrall to a bloodthirsty code of honor and chivalry. Caught up in a disgraced nobleman's quest to win back the hand of a sexy alien princess, Jane encounters bizarre wonders and dangers unlike anything she ever ran into back home.
Then again, Waar has never seen anyone like Jane before . . . .
Both a loving tribute and scathing parody of the swashbuckling space fantasies of yore, Jane Carver of Waar introduces an unforgettable new science fiction heroine.

Product ReviewYes the story line is heavily influenced by ERB's John Carter of Mars but that's fine because the author tells you that up front. As one review pointed out, it's silly good fun. I enjoyed the book and will be reading the sequel, however, unlike ERB's work I wouldn't recommend this for children and teens, the language and some elements of the story are definitely of an adult nature.

Product ReviewJohn Carter was a gentleman of old Virginia. Jane Carver is coarse biker chick. Therein lies all the difference in the world.
