Book description
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. John Norman is creator of the Gorean Saga, a
series of novels spanning dozens of titles that began in 1967 with
TARNSMAN OF GOR and that are considered to be cult classics. He has also
produced a three-installment fictional series, Telnarian Histories, plus
two other fiction works and a nonfiction paperback entitled IMAGINATIVE
SEX. He continues to write new novels in the Gorean saga, notably
WITNESS OF GOR (2002) and PRIZE OF GOR (2008), both published by
E-Reads. At Gor Chronicles, a web site specially created for his
tremendous fan following, one may read everything there is to know about
this unique fictional culture. Mr. Norman was born in Chicago, Illinois
in 1931. He is married and has three children.
