Editing John Carter of Mars (section)

=Basic Summary=
The Barsoom books revolve around an adventurous Virginian man named John Carter, who is somehow mentally projected to Mars - a dying world of red deserts and rocky badlands inhabited by myriad alien races, who collectively refer to their world as "Barsoom". Filled with a spirit of adventure and a "good ol' boy" sentiment, and granted superhuman strength by Barsoom's lighter gravity, John Carter becomes a great leader who rescues (and ultimately marries) the princess of the surprisingly human-like "Red Martians", ultimately going on to bring peace to Barsoom by uniting its once-warring cultures as the Warlord of Mars.
