Outlaw is a nice twist
If you read Tarnsman, then you know that Mr. Normans writing is a bit...stilted. That being said, you really wouldn't want the main character, a one Tarl Cabot, to be eloquent; Wouldn't fit him, or the world of Gor at all. Anyway, in Outlaw, we have his return to Gor, to find his city destroyed. Anger at the priest kings lead him on to the Mt of Sadar, but this book is about his stop to a ...

Adventure on the other side of the sun...
John Norman provides an entertaining adventure for those of us who fantasize about being swordsmen in a place where men are definitely men and women are the natural slaves to such men. As twisted as Norman may get in later books of the series, he does strike a cord in me with this escape from modern America and it's feminization of men. Of course the main character, Tarl Cabot, is appalled by ...

Best firefighting book I have read (and reread, and reread).
If there was only one book I could recommend about firefighting, this would be it. It is filled with easy to read, interesting, and quite possibly life saving tips and techniques based upon the real world experience of Chief Norman and the many other leaders in the fire service that he has learned from. I had the first edition, then the second edition, and now the third. If there is ever a ...

Human philosophy explained in action fiction
In his third Gor book, Outlaws of Gor, John Norman takes our hero, Tarl, into the nest of Priest-Kings who are the space alien rulers of the planet Gor. We learn that the Preist-Kings (as they are called in Gorian language) are a race of twenty foot ant-like creatures who live in a nest with one queen and thousands of worker ants. Humans are treated like we treat cattle, a race subjugated to ...

One of my favorite books EVER
I read a lot. And the Gor series stands out. Great, great, great. If you like fantasy, it is obligatory to read the first five. Nomads and Assassins are the best. You can get reading copy sets off Ebay of these five for $25. I cannot imagine $25 better spent. If you have not done so, go for it, you'll not be disappointed. Raiders(6) is also good and has scenes that'll be with you for a long ...

Prize of Gor
John Norman

e-reads.com, 2008

Ellen is a beautiful young slave girl on the planet Gor. Yet she was not always thus. For nearly sixty years she was a woman of Earth, but life had largely passed her by. Then, following an apparently chance encounter at the opera with a strangely familiar young man, an echo from her past, she finds herself transported from Earth to Gor. Here she discovers the true identity of her kidnapper and his sinister motives. She is given a strange drug ...

a charming excursion into Gorean reality
It seems to be a popular opinion that the Gor series went off the rails with this volume. As is almost always the case, popular opinion is dead wrong. Stylistically, Norman becomes more compact and more repetitious beginning here, but in fact it only reads even better and faster than his previous work. While Norman's prose is surely not at the extremely high literary level of an Eddison or ...

Heavy Duty Truck Systems: (book And Workbook Package)

Delmar Pub, 2001

A great introduction to heavy-duty truck systems
We used this book in our diesel technician class. The book gives you an excellent introduction to every aspect of a heavy-duty truck. I usually shy away from books written by more than one author because of lack of continuity or overcoverage in certain areas. In the case of this book, the authors have done a fantasic job of explaining the topics without any assumptions. The book does a good ...

Back on form
John Norman fell down with players of Gor which while godd was not great I have read all 26 books and found that there is a 27 out but not in print and unobtainable???? Dancer centers around the story of a young lithe librarian of Earth who is brought to gor by Kurii Slavers. The start of the book follows her search for truth and capture on Earth by Teibar of Ar. On her arrival on Gor she is ...

Java Enterprise in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly))

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005

Great reference for an immense topic
Java Enterprise in a Nutshell tries to do the impossible - fit Enterprise Java into a nutshell. I don't think it matters how big of a nutshell you have, it would be a truly impossible task. Farley and Crawford, though, do a nice job shoe-horning as much Enterprise Java as they can into an 800+ page book. They go over many topics including all the J2EE standards like EJBs and JSPs to open ...

For Gor lovers, juicy slavery scenes
Having read all of the Gor books, this is one of my favorites. For those who are into the slavery angle, this has the delicious forced submission of Judy Thornton to her former rival, Elicia Nevins, who makes Judy her abject slave. Turn about is fair play when Elicia is forced to submit as well.

There's understanding, and there's underSTANDing a book...
Most people only see what they are looking for in books, so I suppose it isn't all that strange that some of the previous reviewers did not find the story in 'Witness' to be all they wanted it to be. John Norman isn't writing about BDSM - he isn't writing Erotica (anyone notice just how little he dwells on the sexual events in the stories?) - he isn't advocating slavery for all women - in ...

The Gor Ethos--Not just a Male Trip
I began reading the Gor series about six months ago and have so far collected 22 of the orginal 27 books. The bondage and S/M themes that gain strength in each book made me wonder as a male if Norman were simply presenting a kinky and overly masculine perspective. So I began to examine female writers beginning with Janet E. Morris' Silistra. And whaddayaknow? Norman has talented female ...

One of my favorites in the series
This is the last Gor novel in which we see Tarl Cabot in his weak "Earth man" guise. His failings are manifest in this book, and like in Raiders of Gor, it causes the reader to feel more empathy towards him, by making him less of a master swordsman and more of a man who's lost his way. This novel sets up the epic Maurauders of Gor in which he finally triumphs over weakness and becomes a true ...

Tarnsman Tarl Cabot becomes Captain Bosk of Port Kar
After what everybody seems to consider his most popular Gor novel, "Nomads of Gor," and what I think is clearly his magnum opus, "Assassin of Gor," John Norman has Tarl Cabot head off in a new direction in this 6th volume of the Counter-Earth series. I think "Raiders of Gor" is a notch below those two, on a level with "Priest-Kings of Gor," which is certainly a comparable novel from the series ...
