A Barsoomian princess caught between empires — and the warrior who will cross a dying world to save her. Book 4 of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s legendary Mars series.
Description
Thuvia, Maid of Mars is the fourth book in Edgar Rice Burroughs’s beloved Barsoom series. Set on a dying Mars where ancient city-states fight for survival, the novel follows Carthoris — son of John Carter and Dejah Thoris — as he races to rescue the beautiful Princess Thuvia of Ptarth.
When Thuvia is kidnapped amid a conspiracy to ignite war between the empires of Helium and Ptarth, all evidence points to Carthoris as the culprit. To clear his name and save the woman he loves, he must track her across the dead sea bottoms of Barsoom, through the treacherous Valley of Hohr, and into the hands of the savage Lotharians — a race of warrior-phantoms who can materialize their thoughts into flesh.
First published in 1920, this swashbuckling adventure captures everything readers love about Burroughs: breakneck pacing, exotic alien civilizations, impossible romances, and a world of breathtaking imagination. From the flying fliers of Helium to the bowmen of Lothar, Thuvia, Maid of Mars is pure pulp glory.

Classic Burroughs at his best. Thuvia is maybe the most badass princess in all of pulp fiction. Carthoris is a worthy son of John Carter. The Lotharians and their phantom bowmen are such a cool concept. If you like John Carter you will love this one.
MarsJunkie –
Not as good as the first three Barsoom books but still a fun read. The worldbuilding is top tier — the dead sea bottoms and the Valley of Hohr are properly creepy. Burroughs really knew how to make Mars feel alien and ancient. A bit short though, finished it in one afternoon.

People sleep on the Barsoom series but honestly its better than most modern sci-fi. The pacing is relentless — every chapter ends with a cliffhanger that makes you keep reading. The romance between Carthoris and Thuvia is sweet too. Love that the EPUB is clean and well formatted.
RetroSF –
Solid entry in the series. I like that this one focuses on Carthoris instead of John Carter — gives a fresh perspective. The Lothar sequence is the highlight. My only complaint is the ending feels a bit rushed. Still, for the price you cant beat this kind of classic adventure.

Just discovered Burroughs through DodaBooks and I am hooked. Thuvia is such a great character — she is not just a damsel she actualy fights back and makes her own choices. The cover art on this edition is beautiful. More Barsoom please!
