About this book
Edgar Rice Burroughs transports listeners to the Red Planet once again with Thuvia, Maid of Mars, the fourth thrilling installment in the legendary Barsoom series. This science fiction adventure introduces Carthoris, son of the legendary John Carter, who finds himself hopelessly in love with Thuvia, princess of Ptarth—a passion forbidden by the strict matrimonial customs of Mars itself.
When Thuvia is mysteriously kidnapped, Carthoris embarks on a desperate quest across the unforgiving Martian landscape to rescue her. Racing against time to prevent an interplanetary war, he must navigate treacherous terrain, encounter bizarre alien creatures, and overcome impossible obstacles while his beloved remains in danger. Published in 1920, this pulp fiction masterpiece delivers everything Burroughs fans crave: a noble hero, a damsel in distress, unforeseen complications, and relentless action sequences.
What sets this entry apart is Burroughs' masterful descriptive language, which paints vivid details of Martian society, customs, and landscapes with remarkable depth. Rather than relying solely on breakneck pacing, the narrative allows readers to fully immerse themselves in the exotic culture and geography of Barsoom.
Perfect for science fiction enthusiasts, classic literature lovers, and anyone seeking an imaginative escape to distant worlds, Thuvia, Maid of Mars captures the timeless appeal of adventure romance across the cosmos.
