Reading: A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs Part Seven

John wakes up to discover he is now the prisoner of a different tribe of Green Men. These folks are from Warhoon, and the leader of the party thinks John has a very brief future as a gladiator in the great games. The Jeddak of this tribe, a guy named Bar Comas is apparently not as much of a jerk as most Green Men appear to be. We know this because Bar Comas does not want to kill John if he doesn’t have to.


Dak Kova, the jed who captured John does not like this plan and starts to cause trouble, calling Bar Comas weak and maudlin. Bar Comas however seems about as weak as a really, really mad grizzly bear because he immediately charges forward and commences with the butt-kicking. Unfortunately for John, Bar Comas loses the fight, and now Dak Kova is in charge. We learn that the Warhoon are a much smaller tribe than the Tharks, possibly because they keep killing each other off.
