A hero who thinks with his muscles, is a little scared of women, and exemplifies valor without reflection. But in a good way.
John Carter is Civil War (U.S. not English) veteran who has struck out for the West to find his fortune. He's snatched from death at the hands of some very irate locals in a mysterious fashion, and finds himself on Mars facing four armed green monsters (who turn out to be pretty good folks in their own fashion). As he's accepted into their band, in part by killing a few of them, he meets the stunning Dejah Thoris, a red skinned and sophisticated native of Mars and rescues her from the Green Men. And then in the second chapter...
Well, a slight exaggeration, but you get the idea. Feats of courage and recklessness, non-stop action, cliff hangers, and a complete absense of political correctness.
Dated, but first rate fun.
