Tara, princess of Helium, is a lively young princess being courted by Prince Jed of Gathol. However, she spurns the prince because she sees him as a weakling and too mild-mannered for her tastes.

Later, when Tara is piloting her flier in the middle of a storm, she loses control of it and crashes in the middle of uncharted territory and is soon pursued by Martian lions. Luckily, she is able to escape thanks to the help of the Kaldanes, Martians that resemble detached human heads on little crab legs.

Tara will embark on a journey back home that will prove difficult, as the Kaldanes see her as a political prisoner. Will she ever make it back home? Can she escape the clutches of the bizarre Kaldanes? Read the book to discover if Tara of Helium is to ever escape.

Why buy a Sastrugi Press Classic?

Sastrugi Press is dedicated to producing the best possible classic book editions for our customers. We take the original text and completely re-typeset it. We design our books for readability, visual appeal, and unrivaled enjoyment.

Many of our competitors sell you low-quality photocopies. They use cheap OCR software to convert the text, causing many typographical errors. This creates a terrible reader experience. Sastrugi Press does not and will never scan and paste.

We value your time and business. We use the industry standard software Adobe Indesign CC to create high-performance books. This expensive process produces easier reading than the original antique metal typeset printing. You will be proud to have our books on your shelves.

All of our large print classic books are printed in a 16-point font that is highly legible and easily readable.

Purchase quality. Purchase a Sastrugi Press Classic.
