    Edgar Rice Burroughs

    Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) had various jobs before getting his first fiction published at the age of 37. He established himself with wildly imaginative, swashbuckling romances about Tarzan of the Apes, John Carter of Mars and other heroes, all at large in exotic environments of perpetual adventure. Tarzan was particularly successful, appearing in silent film as early as 1918 and making the author famous. Burroughs wrote science fiction, westerns and historical adventure, all charged with his propulsive prose and often startling inventiveness. Although he claimed he sought only to provide entertainment, his work has been credited as inspirational by many authors and scientists.

      These books have all started to meld together so correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the last book all about rescuing a slave? Or was that this book? Either way, this whole mess begins with the casual bartering of slaves by John Carter's son. Which of course causes the woman he loves, but turned him down because she is already betrothed, to need rescuing, which Carthoris is more than happy to start a war or two over. Needless to say we win the girl over, even though she has already said no. (Because what's better than a good old fashion lesson saying that if you get turned down you just have to keep asking and you get what you want). All tied up with a nice big bow of John Carter showing up for dramatic effect to save the day or blow some people up, which ever is fine.
    • 5/5
      This was another quick and action packed read. It follows the adventures of John Carter's son Cathoris.A great branching out of John Carter's Martian World.
    • 4/5
      Though this tale features John Carter's son rather than himself, it was equally good as the previous books of the series. Cathoris was as brave and honorable as his father, and it seems that adventure and just general craziness follows him as it did his father. I had been a little hesitant to continue the series once I realized that the son would take over the adventures for the father, but I was pleasantly surprised that this book didn't fall flat.
    • 4/5
      The title character in this story has appeared earlier in the series as thefaithful woman companion of John Carter's consort Dejah Thoris. Thuvia has the advantage that she has won the loyal support of a giant banth, a sort of Martian lion.
    • 4/5
      Thuvia Maid of Mars is an interesting if old-fashioned story. She’s a bit prissy as the princess of Ptarth and is betrothed to a character Tith, whom we do not meet until the end of the story. The story is mostly about a couple of men who have the hots for her and the length they go through to get her, even risking interplanetary war for her hand.

      As with a lot of Mars books, we have interesting subplots – a lost city of Lothar that has men who can imagine so strongly that others can see their thoughts come to life. They usually disappear except for one guy…. but I digress.

      Burroughs really gets more into the animal life on Mars – the lion-like banth the most prominent.

      Overall, and enjoyable story for John Carter fans, but without John Carter.

      Kindle edition was clear, no massive misspellings or errors as I’ve seen in other editions.


    • 4/5
      This is the fourth book in the series. The first three were all narrated by John Carter, and the pairing of that character with Burroughs' wonderfully corny prose was perfect. This time, there's a new hero, and it's told in the third person. But the writing is still in the same absurd style, removing any illusion that Burroughs might have been in on the joke. Also, the story isn't as fun as the first three books. It takes a while before the action starts; instead it begins with intrigue, as if one were expecting to take things more seriously than a simple swashbuckling fantasy adventure. It's good once it finally gets going, and there are some clever new adversaries, but it's no John Carter book.
    • 4/5
      Classic pulp sf. Hero is framed for the abduction of princess Thuvia, so he goes to rescue her and clear his name. It's also a pretty classic romance plot, with the h/h in love with each other, but unsure how the other feels, and societal/political conventions standing in their way.
    • 2/5
      The story line is so obvious it's painful. First, though, you must disregard all possible scientific facts known about Mars as of 2008. Althoughthe handsome prince eventually wins the heart of Princess Thuvia, as he must west of Colorado (Hollywood, in case you missed that.), he does it thrillingly. And that last adverb is just like this story -- unbelieveable.
    • 4/5
      This fourth part of the Barsoom series is a very good read. Some new groups of inhabitants of Barsoom are introduced, and the story is good. The main character in this book is not John Carter (who only appears in a few lines) but his son Carthoris. He has to save Thuvia, who has been abducted. Because rumours have been spread that Carthoris abducted her, he also has to save her and his own honor.
    • 4/5
      After the original Mars trilogy, Burroughs goes in another direction concentrating on other heroes of Mars. Carthoris, son of John Carter and Dejah Thoris, looks for the abducted princess Thuvia. The book features one of Burroughs' most original creations, Kar Komak the phantom bowman.
