The Chessmen of Mars is an Edgar Rice Burroughs science fiction novel, the fifth of his famous Barsoom series, and focuses on Tara, daughter of John Carter and Dejah Thoris, princess of Helium, whose hand is sought by Gahan, prince of Gathol.

Edgar Rice Burroughs was an American author, best known for his creation of the jungle hero Tarzan, Lost worlds and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter.
