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.
