Readers who were enticed by The Martian Tales Trilogy will delight even more in the fourth and fifth installments in Edgar Rice Burroughs Martian Tales series, Thuvia, Maid of Mars and Chessmen of Mars. The hero of the first three novels, the earthling John Carter, has faded into the background, yielding the stage to his Martian-born children-his son, Carthoris, is the hero of Thuvia, Maid of Mars, and his daughter, Tara of Helium, is the heroine of Chessmen of Mars. The two novels collected here resonate with the clash of steel swords and ring with the cries of breathtakingly beautiful damsels in distress.. Together with his Tarzan novels, his cycle of Martian novels helped make Edgar Rice Burroughs a household name, ensuring his enduring legacy as one of the most successful and popular writers in American history.
