Quotation from: The Gods of Mars

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs


I could not understand the necessity for such an enormous force of
armed men about a spot so surrounded by mystery and superstition
that not a soul upon Barsoom would have dared to approach it even
had they known its exact location. I questioned Thuvia, asking
her what enemies the therns could fear in their impregnable fortress.


We had reached the doorway now and Thuvia was opening it.


"They fear the black pirates of Barsoom, O Prince," she said, "from
whom may our first ancestors preserve us."
