About this listen

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. Nathan Long is a screen and prose writer with two movies, a Saturday-morning adventure series, and several TV episodes to his name. His official website is: www.sabrepunk.com.

Editor reviews

When tough-talking biker babe Jane Carver accidentally deals a death blow to the unfortunate guy who gropes her outside a California biker bar, she makes a run for it - and wakes up naked on an alien planet called Waar. Thus begins Nathan Long's Jane Carver of Waar: Waar, Book 1, a hilarious satire on the ribald, retro space fantasies of the 20th century. Soon, Jane's hopelessly wrapped up in bizarre adventures on this planet of sky-pirates and gladiators, including a bid to help a fallen nobleman win back his sexy space princess. Listeners will be bewitched by actress Dina Pearlman's portrayal of Jane, whose Marlboro-cured voice and confident panache makes her swashbuckling space adventures a delightful listen.

Was not sure about this one, however. I loved it. Pulp fiction at its best. A breath of a unpretentious swashbuckling thrill ride with a great deal of humour. If you like picking literature apart, not for you. If you just want something to carry you along then this is it. I’m thinking I need to hear what happens next!

I loved it.

An excellent swashbuckling tale after the manner of the Barsoom series, but a bit more tongue in cheek. Splendid fun!

Good listen, fun MC with decent combat. Jane kicking butt is brilliant. It was nice to get a MC who actually cared that they had killed someone.

Fun Listen

I really enjoyed this and I'm listening to the follow up as I write. It's a parody/homage to John Carter of Mars, but it's not a spoof. It has it's share of serious moments. This includes an assault scene that may be triggering for some. If that's not a deal breaker for you I'd strongly recommend this. Also props to the narrator, she's perfect for the character of Jane.

very fun pulp sci/fantasy.
