In Edgar Rice Burroughs' *A Fighting Man of Mars*, Tan Hadron of Hastor, a noble officer in the navy of Helium, journeys to the city of Ghasta to rescue his fiancée, Sanoma Tora, who has been kidnapped by the tyrannical Jed, Ghron. Upon arrival, Hadron and his loyal servant, Nur An, are captured and presented with a grim choice: endure torture or serve as officers under Ghron's rule. Upholding his honor, Hadron refuses to serve a madman and chooses death by fire. However, their fate is interrupted by the arrival of Phor Tak of Jhama, a scientist lured to the city by Ghron's daughter, Sharu. Phor Tak reveals Ghron's sinister plan to use his invention, the Flying Death, to destroy Helium. Hadron and Nur An manage to escape their cell by removing a window bar and climbing to the roof, where they witness the horrific torture of Sanoma Tora. Forced to flee the city's defenses and the deadly ray, they eventually board the Flying Death. There, Hadron discovers that Phor Tak's daughter, Tavia, is being held captive. In a dramatic confrontation, Hadron kills the scientist and rescues Tavia, realizing that his true love lies with her, not Sanoma. The narrative concludes with Hadron and Tavia returning to Helium. It is revealed that Tavia is the granddaughter of a Jed, resolving the conflict between social status and true love. The story highlights the harsh realities of Martian life, the constant threat of assassination, and the enduring spirit of the red Martians, showcasing their bravery and noble character despite the grim battle for survival against nature and enemy hordes.
