FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Is the book offered for sale here a pre-order that has not yet been published?

No. The books, display boxes, and custom-minted coins that make up the various collectible editions of The Martian Legion have already been produced and all editions are available for sale. Orders will normally ship within 2 business days.

Q: What is The Martian Legion: In Quest of Xonthron?

When Edgar Rice Burroughs died in 1950 at the age of 75, the last entry in his writer’s notebook was, “Started Xonthron.”

What was Xonthron? A new novel? A short story idea? A thorough search of all ERB’s papers failed to produce an answer.

And so, through these many years fans were left to wonder.

Until now.

The Martian Legion: In Quest of Xonthron is the book Edgar Rice Burroughs might well have written had he lived a few more years.  And even though that greatest of story tellers has been gone from us for more than half a century, you will find his hand and spirit very much alive in this book.

A book more than ten years in the making, Russ Cochran Publishing brings it to you now in a magnificent leather-bound limited first edition. As you will see, no expense was spared in the making of this book.  It is the grandest ERB book ever published, and at a quarter of a million words, it is epic in scale.

No one can match the creative magic of the master, but we believe The Martian Legion comes close. The story, which brings John Carter and Tarzan together for the first time, features a cast of characters both familiar and new, sharing a grand adventure spanning space and time.
