"Aiming his work at the pulps, Burroughs had his first story, Under the Moons of Mars, serialized by Frank Munsey in the February to July 1912 issues of The All-Story – under the name "Norman Bean" to protect his reputation. Under the Moons of Mars inaugurated the Barsoom series and earned Burroughs US$400 ($9,927 today). It was first published as a book by A. C. McClurg of Chicago in 1917, entitled A Princess of Mars, after three Barsoom sequels had appeared as serials and McClurg had published the first four serial Tarzan novels as books. Burroughs soon took up writing full-time, and by the time the run of Under the Moons of Mars had finished he had completed two novels, including Tarzan of the Apes, published from October 1912 and one of his most successful series."

Condition: Very Good

Description: The fourth book in the Barsoom series and a science fantasy, Thuvia, Maid of Mars is written by American author Edgar Rice Burroughs. The protagonists of the previous three novels in the series, John Carter and Dejah Thoris are no longer the main characters in this book; instead, it is their son, Carthoris. The story starts with Carthoris who is in love with Thuvia. Unfortunately, Kulan Tith, Jeddak of Kaol, has Thuvia's pledge. Now the only thing that can end a man and woman's engagement is death. Carthoris finds himself in a difficult situation as a result of this circumstance. Thuvia experiences the typical Burroughsian heroine's destiny of being abducted and in need of rescue, so Carthoris sets out to find the love of his life. The story turns out that Carthoris is blamed for Thuvia's kidnap. Read this amazing book by Edgar Rice Burroughs to find out how he handles the situation and saves his love. Hardcover.

Price: US$324.50 + shipping

Description: First edition. With frontispiece and nine plates of illustrations by J. Allen St. John. 8vo, original mossy green cloth lettered on the upper cover and spine in black. 256, 8 ads. pp. A very nice and handsome copy, the text only very lightly mellowed, the cloth still attractive with only a little minor wear at the tips, the inner hinges reinforced with a cloth tape. A VERY EARLY BURROUGHS MARS NOVEL, ONLY THE FOURTH OF THE SERIES. It is also the first to shift the center character from being John Carter to his son, the half Earthman Carthoris, and Thuvia of Ptarth. While in many ways typical of the Barsoon novels there are some very inventive elements in the story. One of which is an autopilot and collision detection device for Martian fliers, and another being the creation of the Lotharians, a race of ancient martians who have become adept at telepathic projection, able to create imaginary warriors that can kill, and sustain themselves through thought alone.
