Sword and planet Sword and planet is a subgenre of science fantasy that features rousing adventure stories set on other planets, and usually featuring Earthmen as protagonists. The name derives from the heroes of the genre engaging their adversaries in hand-to-hand combat primarily with simple melée weapons such as swords, even in a setting that often has advanced technology. Although there are works that herald the genre, such as Percy Greg's "Across the Zodiac" (1880) and Edwin Lester Arnold's "" (1905; published in the US in 1964 as "Gulliver of Mars"), the prototype for the genre is "A Princess of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs originally serialized by "All-Story" in 1912 as "Under the Moons of Mars".
