Pulp Fiction Reviews: STRANGE GODS OF THE DIRE PLANET

That pulp luminary is known most widely for his Tarzan novels. But he also made literary history with his space opera sci-fantasy fusion Martian series featuring Earthborn adventurer John Carter, subject of a recent Disney actioner which sadly fared poorly at the box office due, IMHO, to poor marketing. Boy, does he know. George Lucas and Gene Roddenberry had whole universes from which to cull their colorful characters.

He invents a complex interweaving of tribal cultures, each with their own detailed rules of living.

In the aftermath of the assault against Ledgrim and the tragic losses incurred Lana Dire is accused of murdering Selah Shaw who refused to accept the warning Lana brought to the outer guard posts.

Garvey now the chief of the council of elders offers restitution in line with the traditions of the tribe but this accusation is not about justice, there are elements at work who want to bring down the Dire clan and the trial and execution of Lana would be a good start. This sets the tone of this fourth In the aftermath of the assault against Ledgrim and the tragic losses incurred Lana Dire is accused of murdering Selah Shaw who refused to accept the warning Lana brought to the outer guard posts.

This sets the tone of this fourth novel in the series, politics, greed and ambition are all in play amongst the various tribes of Mars and Garvey is finally getting a full taste of his adopted world. The narrative itself splits into a number of plot lines featuring the various characters both in present day and events in the past.

It did get a little confusing if I am honest but all the events covered merge into the whole quite well yet leave a number of avenues open for the next book in the series. If nothing else Strange Gods really opens up the Mars that Garvey is living in both the world itself and the tribes and individuals. Traditions and religions all clash and well the blood certainly flows freely, life can be cheap on this world. A good addition to the Dire Planet series but a tad confusing on first read and definitely not a good place to start if you're new to Garvey's adventures on the red planet.
