The Moon Maid by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Science Fiction

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of a future history, the narrative explores Burroughs' unique vision for the 20th Century, blending elements of alternate history with his characteristic speculative fiction. Written in the early 1920s, it reflects Burroughs' perspective on the aftermath of the First World War and the subsequent political upheaval, particularly the October Revolution in Russia. His staunch anti-Communist views are evident, as he contemplates the ongoing conflicts and societal changes of his time, reminiscent of H.G. Wells' works.
