Tarl Cabot (now known as Bosk of Port Kar) hears that the love of his life, Talena, has been seen, enslaved, in the Northern Forests of Gor. Home to the Panther Girls of Gor. He decides to go rescue her, and when he hears that Marlenus, Ubar of Ar, is in the forests with the same mission he is determined to be there first.
There are a couple of parties involved in this book. The Panther Girls, the men of Bosk, the men of Marlenus as well as from Sarus of Tyros. The fates of these three men are not sure, as Bosk falls captive to the Panther Girls to be saved by Marlenus, which will be captured later by Sarus.
In the books Norman wrote earlier one can read about the conflicts between Marlenus and Bosk. It is a complicated relationship, which we on earth would call a father and son relationship. One could say at one time they're friends, and then enemies again, which is very interesting to read.
Both Marlenus and Bosk will be victors in the Northern Forest, though Bosk loses the last of his illusions regarding his great love Talena.
It is also nice to read that the love between Marlenus, Ubar of Ar and Verna of the Panther Girls approaches a love between equals. It is a nice addition to the character of the most powerful Gorean Warrior.
All and all in my opinion the book is a good follow up to Captive of Gor. John Norman may not be the best writer there is on the world, his books peek many people active in the Gorean "Lifestyle" and with this books Norman paints a better picture of the fierce and brave Panther Girls of the North.
The style of the writing is pompous repeatative statements. The narrator repeats the same phrase over and over again. Norman becomes obsessed with slavery and chains. Every single scene goes into minute details of how the slave girls are chained. I just got bored after the three hundreth time he used the word coffle.
The story is of Bosk of Port Kar going North to the great forests of Gor to find his lost love, Talena. Bosk was an Earthman, then a warrior, then a merchant and finally a seaman. He enters the Forests and lo, he is instantly better at tracking and surviving than the Panther Girls who have lived there all their lives. He kills dozens of enemies with his longbow and they never once think to stop and hunt him down. He chases the bad guys silently through the forest, but wait! He also has twenty to forty chained female slave blundering along too. He has to feed them, water them, chain them and still has time to keep up with the enemy. This episode by the way is almost a rewriting of a very similar scene in Raiders of Gor where Bosk hunts down and kills dozens of enemies silently and no one ever catches him.
It is filler of the worst kind
