Maske: Thaery is a science fiction novel by American writer Jack Vance, set in his Gaean Reach universe, which was first published in hardcover by Putnam, in 1976. It is about a young man's planet-hopping pursuit of the arrogant nobleman who almost killed him. Maske: Thaery continues Vance's interest in richly textured, strongly xenological settings, in which an outsider protagonist comes into conflict with a bewilderingly complex social hierarchy, other examples being Emphyrio (1969) and the Durdane trilogy. Like many of Vance's novels of the 1960s and '70s, the narrative of Maske: Thaery might be described as a bildungsroman.
