Fresh from his exploits in the Steel Worlds, home of the Kurii, a savage alien race intent on conquering Gor, Tarl Cabot has been returned to an isolated beach, at coordinates apparently specified by the Priest-Kings, the masters of Gor and the enemy of the Kurii. His only companions are his beautiful new slave Cecily, and Ramar, a ferocious sleen bred in the Steel Worlds to hunt and kill. But why has he been returned to such a remote spot? Did the Priest-Kings wish their former agent to serve them once more? Did the Kurii intend to use Cabot to further their own ends? The truth, as Tarl will learn, is darker, and deeper, than either of these possibilities.In SWORDSMEN OF GOR, the latest book in John Norman's best-selling Gorean saga, follow Tarl as he embarks on a new adventure with the Pani, a strange people with mysterious origins, and learn the dark, sinister truth behind his return to Gor, the Counter-Earth.

Give this one a hard pass

I’m not sure this is the worst book I’ve ever read. But it is within 10 of the bottom. It’s has more of the repetitive “social” stuff (it’s also redundant, superfluous and, too, says the same thing over and over) and even less story than the rest of these latter books… which is really saying something. I would go so far as to say there is no story. It feels like in more competent hands this whole book would just be a preface to whatever the next book is going to be. Ten pages long at most. I’m going to need a long break before I read it.
