Product Description

Product Description

Taken as a possession, Judy Thornton, an Earth resident, is found meandering in the wilderness of the Earthlike planet of Gor. In keeping with the uncivilized culture of the Goreans, she is trained and used as a slave. What her masters don't know is that Judy is more than just a beautiful chattel. She has the power to obliterate Gor and all that is related to it. Determined to seize control of her, Priest Kings and Kur-Monster enter combat, neglecting the fact that the fate of Gor rests in the hands of the ethereal Judy. Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the first book of the Gorean Saga, TARNSMAN OF GOR, E-Reads is proud to release the very first complete publication of all Gor books by John Norman, in both print and ebook editions, including the long-awaited 26th novel in the saga, WITNESS OF GOR. Many of the original Gor books have been out of print for years, but their popularity has endured. Each book of this release has been specially edited by the author and is a definitive text.

By A Customer HALL OF FAME TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Writing as John Norman in the Chronicles of Counter-Earth series, Professor John Lange repeatedly developed the idea that only in sexual bondage, in which a woman submitted to the dominance of a strong master, could she find sexual fulfillment. Scenes in which Tarl Cabot, or another Gorean male, puts a slave collar around a young girl's neck, has her chained by his sleeping furs, and proceeds to teach her this lesson abound. "Slave Girl of Gor" is the second of three novels in the series that explore this in, ah, someone greater detail from the perspective of the female of the species (as opposed to from Cabot's perspective with Elizabeth Caldwell in "Nomads of Gor"). The first of this "trilogy" would have been "Captive of Gor" and the third is "Kajira of Gor" ("kajira" being Gorean for slave girl, or, if you will, captive).

On one level the plot deals with the next chapter in the battle between the Others and the Priest-Kings for control of Gor. Tarl Cabot has resumed serving the latter and is trying to learn the battle plans of the Kurri, the beastlike Others who are ready to launch their invasion. Meanwhile, Judy Thornton of Earth, is found wandering in the wildnerness and is captured and enslaved. As we follow her training as a slave girl we also learn that she is carrying a secret message that has grave implications for the future of Gor. Consequently, there is something of a race going on to see who can be the first to conquer not just her body but her mind and learn the big bad secret. However, this synopsis gives you a sense of the best parts of the novel, at least from a perspective that emphasizes action and adventure. Most of "Slave Girl of Gor" has to do with Judy learning how to be a slave girl of Gor, although, to be fair, there is also an object lesson involved for Clitus Vitellius of the Warrior Caste, who has feelings for the pretty slave girl and has to remember what it means to be a real master.

From the perspective of the so-called Gorean philosophy, "Slave Girl of Gor" is clearly a major treatise from Lange/Norman. There are those who take this philosophy as gospel, while others use it as a model for role-playing. All I can tell you in that regard is that copies of "Slave Girl," along with "Kajira" and "Magician of Gor," bringing the highest prices for used copies of Norman's novels. I am obviously lousy master material because I tend to skip over such scenes and discussions to get back to the swording and flying giant birds around in the sky.

oh dear 11 Dec 2010
Format:Kindle Edition
JOhm Norman can write a good tale when he puts his mind to it. He can also write drivel. So far this is one of his worst. He repeats stetements ad nauseum. In a first time writer we'd accuse him of padding the tale. He is going on about slave theory to the nth degree, lecturing us in a boring way, rather than letting it emerge from the tale. "Show don't tell" as they say in leasson 1 of how to write.
And I am not comfortable about a woman being back handed so hard she vomits being described as "cuffed"
