"Norman Bean" was ERB's pen name. "Under The Moons of Mars" by Norman Bean was republished as A Princess Of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
In the following passage, the planet Vanessa seems to me to reflect ERB's Mars/Barsoom:
"Dinner
was served in the roof turret, which had a view like being outdoors. By
night Vanessa took on beauty. Both moons were aloft, small and swift,
turning the land to a fantasy of dim silver and moving shadows. The lake
gleamed, the native towers looked like giant blossoms. Overhead, the
sky was splendid with stars..."
-"A Sun Invisible," IV, p. 289.
Over dinner, Falkayn mentions and explains rogue planets. They will be crucial to the plot.
