Welcome to Gor, a parallel Earth, where social norms are exotic and the way of life is brutal. In the fifth book in the Gorean Series, the deadly assassin Kuurus is intent on a bloody mission of vengeance. His adventure takes him from the caste of the pleasure-slaves, which are rigorously trained in the rules and techniques of sexual ecstasy, to the brutal arenas where humans participate in deadly hand-to-hand combat. He witnesses violence, conflict and uncertainty, as the inhabitants of Counter-Earth are forced to confront their destinies…no matter how exalted or debased.

I love these books. I must admit this book has dorky parts than any other so far. However I still love it and by the end I was cheering and sad when it ended.

dorky but amazing

The previous book, Nomads, has the best character development and this book serves as well-plotted. You can see the plot lines and what is happening a mile away - not too many surprises, but still its' very clear every character throughout the long saga of story is like a chess piece - and will play an important role in the end game. it's well planned.

Nice touches in this one include Tarl getting in over his head and a return of a favorite animal and leader. At the same time - more of the tragedy of Norman's long-winded dialogues and repetitive scenes as well. Norman writes battle scenes well -- but thinks he writes slave scenes well (when it's all the same scene - -"I am smart and hate slavery, I want to be a slave. I love you Tarl Cabot. I am free but want to be a slave for you tarl cabot." ). Sadly he cuts a great scene (his first tarn tournament as Gladius by just saying "Gladius won that tournament" then goes into a 30 page description of stave training techniques.)

Too much of the wrong details. Seriously - when Vella said, "There are 104 ways for a stave to enter a room" I almost cried because I thought I was going to have to listen to them all. Fortunately, he only describes 3. So, good plotting (every character has a purpose) but repetitious and tedious description.

Tarl Cabot infiltrates a slave house in order to avenge his own assassination attempt. Along the way the City of Ar experiences government upheaval, and Tarl finds himself in the midst of barbarian battles, chess matches, and tarn races.

Full-disclosure, I read many of the Gor books back in the 1980's, and was quite pleased to see them arrive on Audible. I ceased reading the series with this very book, and looking back as I listened to the story this time, I can see why. John Norman has a penchant for in-depth description in such a way that he could make anything tedious in the belabored rendition. While I can appreciate that he has put a lot of thought into the when, where, how, and why the world operates as it does, please let me discover those things through periodic tidbits sprinkled through the story. Diving into a 30-minute tangent in the middle of an action scene really serves to kill the mood.

My wife and I both finished reading this book, and were unimpressed with this one. Normans ability to write plot is excellent, and the forethought he puts into his world building serves to create a well rounded, rich world with constantly shifting tides and sands. This book is no exception. Regardless of how predictable it was.

This was OK. This was my first book by John Norman I know this one is smack dab in the middle of a huge series but I didn't feel lost at all.

I did have a problem with the writing style, the I said she said back and forth got REALLY old. I also felt there was WAY too much description, don't get me wrong you need a good amount but it seems like the author would go off on tangents on descriptions of things that I didn't need to or care to know.

The love scenes, at least by today's standards, was non existent.

The narrator was ok but for the female voices he just sounded like a drag queen (nothing against drag queens) and so I had a hard time listening to the female voices, lucky it is told mostly in first person.

Overall an interesting read that I am not sad I purchased but would not purchase any more from John Norman, it's just not my cup of tea.

wow writing styles have changed...
