Featuring a protagonist who is transported to the planet Poloda by means reminiscent of John Carter's projection to Mars, \u003cem\u003eBeyond the Farthest Star\u003c\/em\u003e is set in a wholly unique solar system in which all the planets are aligned in the same orbit and connected by means of an atmosphere tube that allows for potential travel between worlds via airplane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat has been unknown to readers is that the 1941 \u003cem\u003eBlue Book\u003c\/em\u003e magazine publication comprising Part I of \u003cem\u003eBeyond the Farthest Star\u003c\/em\u003e was heavily edited, with a substantial number of line edits on almost every page and several lengthy and meaningful passages-some more than a page long-excised throughout. That altered and abridged text was used as the basis for all book editions of the novel-until now.

On Poloda, he earns a new name-Tangor, one who came from nothing-and a new home among the brave people of Unis, a nation locked in perpetual war against the brutish, totalitarian Kapars. But when news comes of a powerful invention that could turn the tides of the conflict, Tangor must undertake a daring undercover mission behind enemy lines. There, in vile Kapara, he will not only risk life and limb, but also brand himself as a traitor in the eyes of his newfound friends, as he continues his fight for freedom beyond the farthest star!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeyond the Farthest Star: Restored Edition\u003c\/em\u003e (c) 1941, 1964, 2021 Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.
