LibriVox: Thuvia, Maid of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs

LibriVoxI feel kind of silly posting this. It’s already on our EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS page. And, I’ve never read it. But the thing about great cover art is it makes you want to read the book. Just look at all the steampunky-looking goodness on this new cover.

Now read the description. With characters named “Deja Thoris of Helium” and “Thuvia, princess of Ptarth” it sounds like they were created in a fever dream of the Sleep Talkin’ Man.

Add it all up and what do you get?

This post!

In this novel the focus shifts from John Carter, Warlord of Mars, and Dejah Thoris of Helium, protagonists of the first three books in the series, to their son, Carthoris, prince of Helium, and Thuvia, princess of Ptarth. Helium and Ptarth are both prominent Barsoomian city state/empires, and both Carthoris and Thuvia were secondary characters in the previous two books.
