Suggestions for a more modern John Carter?

Hello! I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions for books similar to John Carter/Barsoom books (planetary romance) but without the thinly veiled racism? I understand the series was a product of its time but it can be uncomfortable to read. I like the fish out of water story, with the swashbuckling, pulpy adventure (romance is a bonus) but can’t do the racism. Thanks for any suggestions!
