tribe, Verna. We also learn what has become of Talena, Tarl's true love
from the first book, who makes a brief cameo appearance. Meanwhile, Elinor
is a general pain in the ass to anyone who tries to befriend her, and a
cringing, sniveling coward to boot. She learns to be a good slave,
however, and winds up as the treasured pet of Rask of Treve, the
undisputed Fabio of the Gor books. Go figure.
8. Hunters of Gor
Tarl goes to the woods! The Great Northern Forests, to be exact. Our
hero blows off Telima in classic Gorean fashion and traipses off to the
unexplored forest lands in search of Talena, his long lost love. Once
there, he tangles with some Panther Girls and winds up with the short end
of the stick. We run into Talena's father, Marlenus of Ar (whom we first
encountered in Book 1) again, who goes right on being the consummate
Gorean A-type personality and winning at everything he tries. This book
has a great scene near the end, where Tarl goes against unbeatable odds
like the Tarl of old, and which gives me goosebumps everytime I read it.
The ending, however, is a downer. There is also a brief cameo by Vella
(remember her?)
9. Marauders of Gor
Tarl goes Viking! This one marks the beginning of the Priest-King vs.
Kurii machinations which last for the rest of the series. Our hero winds
up in the north, in Torvaldsland, and joins up with a Viking raider to do
some marauding (hence the title). Very nasty battle sequences in which men
clash with Kurii, which is no fun for anyone. One of the better books of
the series. And Tarl runs into Telima again, much to her regret.
10. Tribesmen of Gor
Tarl goes to the desert! This book is similar in most respects to the
one which precedes it. Tarl goes to infiltrate the desert tribes to stave
off a desperate Kurii plot to destroy all of Gor. And who should he
encounter again but...Vella! This time he gets his hooks into her, though,
but only after serving a nasty tour of duty slaving away in the salt pits
of Klima, fighting against pretty much everyone in the desert, and saving
Gor from those huge jerks, the Kurii. We also run into Kamchak, Tarl's pal
from book 4, again, except this time he's named Hassan. Come to think of
it, Ivar Forkbeard, the viking from book 9, was kinda like Kamchak, also.
Norman must have really liked Kamchak.
11. Slave Girl of Gor
Second of the slave books, this one deals with the adventures of Judy
Thornton, kidnapped from Earth to serve the savage lusts of Goreans. We
suffer with her through her various trials and tribulations, and meet Rask
of Treve's first-runner-up in the Gorean Fabio competition, Clitus
Vitellius, he-man of Ar. Between the time when Judy first shows up on Gor
as a haughty little brat and her acceptance of the wonders of slavery, we
get some very interesting glimpses into the workings of the largest of the
Gorean castes, the Caste of Peasants. And the Kur are involved, as usual.
This is one of the books which makes reference to "the strange gray man
with the glassy robotic eyes," who sounds suspiciously like the Assassin
Pa-Kur, dreaded villain from the first book, who was believed slain though
his body was never found. Is it mere coincidence that the name Pa-KUR is
so similar to the word KURii? I suspect that, since John Norman is writing
