Publisher's summary

John Norman's epic Gorean Saga is one of the longest-running and most successful series in the history of fantasy. It is also one of the most controversial. Over the course of more than 30 books produced over a span of six decades, the series has sold millions of copies and built legions of fans unrivaled in their devotion. Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire. In Vagabonds of Gor, book 24 of the Gorean Saga, Cabot, and his friend, Marcus, of Ar's Station, who have been spying for Ar in the Cosian encampments, now seek the long-inert forces of Ar, to report acquired intelligence to their commander, Saphronicus, who proves to be of the treasonous party of Ar. Cabot and Marcus are placed under arrest, as spies. Primary forces of Ar, largely inactive in recent months, are now to pursue Cosian forces withdrawing from Ar's Station, through the vast Vosk delta to the sea. The Cosian forces, however, have avoided the delta and the delta campaign is a ruse to decimate the armed might of Ar, to use as a weapon the marshes and swamps of the delta itself, their treacherous, trackless wildernesses and wastes, the quicksand, the insects, the serpents and reptiles, the local populations, to deliver a final decisive blow to what was once the unchallenged splendor and power of Gor's finest infantry.

good

another good one in the series. I don't mind the repetitive parts every now and then.

Incomplete Without Renegades.

Vagabonds and Renegades are dependent on each other and Renegades was not released until recently in Audio Form. Both should be read before Magicians. These books are the true turning point in the story and with out both it would be hard to continue reading the story.

Number three of the Ar-Cos story arc

With about 95% filler the meager amount of remaining story unfortunately makes this the least of the four books in this particular story arc. For sure, there are glimpse of the old magic in storytelling with real promise, but the author appears so wrapped up in his 95% filler, that he has forgotten the main purpose of his books, which is wrapped, and enthralling story telling. Yet, in order to get full enjoyment of this four book mini series, the reader will, of course need to read this book, unfortunately, a disappointment when compared with the other three. Ralph Lister, the narrator, of course, turns in a brilliant performance, as usual.
