Burroughs produced some great adventures, I re-read them probably once every two years or so. Harry's omnibus versions are about the best out there and I have just finished the Pellucidar Omnibus in MOBI format on my Omnia smartphone.

Otis Adelbert Klein's books are certainly in the same genre as ERB's. In fact it was rumoured ERB had some sort of rivalry going with him, though never substantiated. Unfortunately the only complete series is his Venus series. There is only one of the Mars books available at PG.

I will not link as I am unsure of copyright restrictions though they are readily available on PG-Australia.
