DESCRIPTION:
After several unsuccessful attempts to find a trade publishing outlet, the series was brought back into print in 2001. Norman has also produced a separate science fiction series, the Telnarian Histories, plus two other fiction works (Ghost Dance and Time Slave), a nonfiction paperback (Imaginative Sex), and a collection of thirty short stories, entitled Norman Invasions<
Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire. It is thought to be advisable to find a double for Sheila, who, in case of military or political disaster, may serve as her proxy or substitute. In their contentions with Priest-Kings, Kurii, savage denizens of the Steel Worlds concealed within the asteroid belt, have frequently had recourse to human allies and subversion. One such city is Corcyrus. For this role, an unwitting young Earth girl, Tiffany Collins is chosen and brought to Gor. Kajira of Gor is the 19th book in the Gorean Saga
Amazon Customer said Okay.. This novel is for some, and not for others. This novel is unique. This novel is long, and tedious at times. Well written, philosophical, raises important questions.. Deeper than you think Greg Smith I read this series when it first came out, and I'm enjoying it again now.Everybody knows the basics---but I don't always see this series of books reviewed in a way that I would consider to be accurate, or even appropriate.John Norman is constantly berated as a misogynist gender-bashing sexist---and, if the trappings and settings of the books are to be taken in a very superficial way, then I suppose there is some merit to these claims. But I can attest to a much greater depth in these works than often meets the eye (or the psychology) of the average page-eater.Very. A. Smithee said Turnabout = fair play, and hot submissions to boot!. Possibly the best of the "earth-girl-abducted-and-made-a-slave" books. While the main character does indeed become a slave girl, the book is woven with political intrigue centered around the Cos vs. Ar struggle. The former's main ally is ruled by a woman (irony!) opposed to the Priest-Kings, and intending to become a power player. However, the proposition is risky, and much could be lost. So why not hire a dupe, a pretender, to "take the fall" in case plans go astray? This is where Tiffany Collins--a scheming, manipulative young woman of Earth--comes in.Brought to
Starting in December 1966 with Tarnsman of Gor, the series was put on hold after its twenty-fifth installment, Magicians of Gor, in 1988, when DAW refused to publish its successor, Witness of Gor. The Internet has proven to be a fertile ground for the imagination of Norman’s ever-growing fan base, and at Gor Chronicles (gorchronicles), a website specially created for his tremendous fan following, one may read everything there is to know about this unique fictional culture. Norman is married and has three children.. Norman has also produced a separate science fiction series, the Telnarian Histories, plus two other fiction works (Ghost Dance and Time Slave), a nonfiction paperback (Imaginative Sex), and a collection of thirty short stories, entitled Norman Invasions.&n
