Thuvia, Maid Of Mars

By Edgar Rice Burroughs

Cathoris, son of John Carter and the queen of Mars, is trapped with his beloved from the haunted city. Jav, a fugitive, is helping them to escape:

Jav turned white, and commenced to tremble. At the crucial moment he appeared to lose courage. The great banth the stalked beside Thuvia turned back toward the advancing bowmen and growled. Carthoris placed himself between Thuvia and the enemy and, facing them, awaited the outcome of their charge. Suddenly an inspiration came him.

"Hurl your own bowmen against Tario's!" he cried to Jav. "Let us see a materialized battle between two mentalities."

The suggestion seemed to hearten the Lotharian, and in another moment the three stood behind solid ranks of huge bowmen who hurled taunts and menaces at the advancing company emerging from the walled city . . .

About Edgar Rice Burroughs

After writing "Tarzan" in 1914, he produced more than 20 sequels which were translated into more than 50 languages, and which formed the basis of dozens of films.
