3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Adolescent Read become Bondage Bible, Feb 24 2008
By R. Johnston (Toronto) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Tarnsman Of Gor (Paperback)
In the 1970's I was a teenager and read a few of the Gor books along with every other sci-fi and fantasy book I could get my hands on. Mostly I remember they were enjoyable adventures -- I liked the characters riding on big birds (a 'tarn'). Imagine my surprise that these books are now popular as sedo-masocism guidebooks, marketed as such (check out some of the covers.), and scorned by feminists everywhere. I feel so used.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE HIDDEN WORLD, Jul 5 2004
This review is from: Tarnsman of Gor (Paperback)
Earth could never know of Gor, the world always on the opposite side of the sun. But Gor somehow knew about Earth, as Tarl Cabot soon discovered. Taken by force to that savage world, Cabot was forced to become a tarnsman--a warrior who could control the great warbirds of Ko-ro-ba. Gor was a world of slaves and beautiful women, of human domination by the alien, secret Priest-Kings. And it was also the world of Talena, tempestuous daughter of the greatest warlord of Gor. She waited for the man who could subdue her--the man who could be her master. But was Tarl Cabot that man?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Start, Jun 1 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Tarnsman of Gor (Paperback)
This slightly shorter work sets the stage well for the world of Gor. It doesn't have the detail/philosophy of some of the later books but enough to give you a sense of a fascinating barbaric world.

The action is fast, the slave girls are few, notably this is perhaps one of the few books with a strong female character. And the thought of Talena follows us and Tarl Cabot himself throughout the books. It is a pity they do not meet again within the first twenty books.

In this book, as in the first 5, Tarl, though probably the mightiest and bravest swordsman on the planet, is still deep down an earth man, which makes the first person writing more palatable. In the later books he is much harsher- ie. a true Gorean male, though his cleverness and exploits are no less brave and amazing.

First off, let me start by saying that I am a fantasy story/ sci fi fan. The ideas and plot in this story I found okay but a tad formulaic. Read more
