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.
