Goodreads asked James Van Pelt:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

James Van Pelt Hi, Interesting question. When I first became interested in science fiction, I loved the relationship between John Carter and Dejah Thoris from Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars books. What wasn't to love? She was a princess! But I think I liked what she looked like on the cover more than how deeply the relationship was developed in the books. Later, I really liked Sam and Mary in Robert Heinlein's THE PUPPET MASTERS. Both characters were competent, smart and there was a lot of banter between them.
