Thuvia, Maid of Mars is a science fantasy novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the
fourth of the Barsoom series. The story focuses on Carthoris, the son of John
Carter of Mars, and Thuvia of Ptarth, each of whom appeared in the previous
two novels. The plot involves the kidnapping of Thuvia, who is promised to
Kulan Tith, Jeddak of Kaol, and Carthoris' attempts to rescue her. The story
takes place on Barsoom, a planet with clear territorial divisions between
different races. The novel can be classified as a planetary romance, a subset
of science fiction that includes scientific elements and involves
civilizations echoing those on Earth in pre-technological eras. The Red
Martians of Barsoom have fliers operating with a form of anti-gravity, and
Carthoris invents an apparent precursor of the autopilot. The Lotharians, a
race of ancient Martians, have become adept at telepathic projection, able to
create imaginary warriors that can kill, and sustain themselves through
thought alone. The copyright for this story has expired in the United States
and, thus, now resides in the public domain there.
