Tarnsman of Gor
Tarnsman of Gor | John Norman
2 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
Tarl Cabot has always believed himself to be a citizen of Earth. He has no inkling that his destiny is far greater than the small planet he has inhabited for the first twenty-odd years of his life. One frosty winter night in the New England woods, he finds himself transported to the planet of Gor, also known as Counter Earth, where everything is dramatically different from anything he has ever experienced. It emerges that Tarl is to be trained as a Tarnsman, one of the most honored positions in the rigid, caste-bound Gorean society. He is disciplined by the best teachers and warriors that Gor has to offer . . . but to what end? Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire. Tarnsman of Gor is the 1st book in the Gorean Saga, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Mehso-so

This was an entertaining story, very kinky and creative but...unfocused. A lot of times it felt like things were just being thrown in to have stuff happen when that time could have been better spent developing the characters. Why does he fall in love with her(she's terrible)? Did he ever mention his world to the people of Gor? And so on.

The epilogue is sad.

All that said I'll be looking into the other Gor books but I'm not exactly rushing out.

"The master assassin of Ar"

How do you NOT read that in a pirate voice?
