In the late 20th century, Admiral Julian 3rd can get no rest, for he knows his future. He will be reborn as his grandson in the next century to journey through space and make an ominous discovery inside the moon; he will live again in the dark years of the 22nd century as Julian 9th, who refuses to bow down to the victorious Moon Men; and as Julian 20th, the fierce Red Hawk, he will lead humanity's final battle against the alien invaders in the 25th century.
The Moon Maid is Edgar Rice Burroughs's stunning epic of a world conquered by alien invaders from the moon and of the hero Julian, who champions Earth's struggle for freedom, peace, and dignity.

I haven't read any ER Burroughs since 1970. Most of my copies were Ace paperbacks or New English Library paperbacks.From New Zealand then hardbacks etc were prohibitively hard to import , let alone find .I thought I'd seek out a copy and revel in some nostalgic later-life warmth.After some trying , I obtained an Ace copy of The Moon Maid , and, because its not the full 3 - part I got the Waking Lion Press new edition with the other two in the Trilogy.Its as though this has been written with Predictive Text : silly , small but irritating errors abound. The worst glitch was entitling a Chapter 8 : A Fight with a Torch ; which should have been A Fight with a Tor-ho". About 50 % of the pages of the book displayed a crease in the paper which became very irritating ; along with the textual errors it became a somewhat irksome event.I DID enjoy reading ERB again ; he had a dependably deft touch fueling his output . Burroughs : 10 ; Waking Lion Press :3

The Moon Maid (Audible Audio Edition) Edgar Rice Burroughs Gene Engene Books in Motion Books Reviews
Its important to know the history of this book and two others that partner with it. They were important political science fiction lost race books for Burroughs, and deserve more attention than Tarzan. However, the `simple' titles seem to doom them to being missed by most people today. Here is the run down
The Moon Maid is an Edgar Rice Burroughs Lost World novel. It was written in three books, Book 1 was begun in June 1922 under the title The Moon Maid, Book 2 was begun in 1919 under the title Under the Red Flag, later retitled The Moon Men, Book 3 was titled The Red Hawk. As evident from its name, Under the Red Flag was originally set in contemporary Soviet Russia, with the Bolsheviks as villains; as this was not popular with the publishers, Burroughs transferred it to a science-fictional setting, with the evil Communist-like "Kalkars" taking over the Moon (in the first book) and then the Earth (in the second book, with the help of a renegade Earthman) and being finally overthrown in the third book.
I would recommend all three books, each are good in their own right, but together they are a great story. Very allegorical, and prophetic, looking at how the communist `experiment' ended. Burroughs was an anti-communist long before the dangers of communism were known, and he paid the price of some backlash because of it.
It's all you expect from Burroughs over-the-top manliness, bold adventure, hot babes with European features, inane romatic misdirections, shambling opponents of the lower races, and all the rest. This time, misadventure lands Julian (Our Hero) on - or rather, in the moon. `S hollow, y'know, but well-lit anyway. This time, Julian brings his nemesis with him in the experimental moon ship. I think this was to make sure there was a proper Earthian bad guy, since you can't trust those silly natives to be evil enough. Despite his treacherous sabotage, Orthis (the bad guy) is spared by Julian's chivalry and sense of fair play. And by the author's need to keep the evil-doer ready at hand, for when Julian runs out of warlike but inept natives to fight.
Of course, the romantic misunderstanding is resolved in the end, leaving one to wonder at the Burroughsian world where princesses seem to drop from the trees like nuts in the fall. Not all is well in the end, though, since we need plenty of setup for the sequel so obviously required.
If this were a movie, I'd say wait for a rainy Saturday and a bucket of popcorn. It's a book, but you get the idea. It's wonderful, bold, and (to a modern reader) more than a little campy.
But I mean that in a nice way.
