Summary
Tarl Cabot has always believed himself to be a citizen of
earth. He has no inkling that his destiny is far greater than
the small planet he has inhabited for the first twenty-odd
years of his life. One frosty winter night in the New England
woods, he finds himself transported to the planet of Gor, also
known as Counter-Earth, where everything is dramatically
different from anything he has ever experienced. It emerges
that Tarl is to be trained as a Tarnsman, one of the most
honored positions in the rigid, caste-bound Gorean society. He
is disciplined by the best teachers and warriors that Gor has
to offer...but to what end? This is the first installment of
John Norman's wildly popular and controversial Gor series,
which has sold millions of copies. Coinciding with the 40th
anniversary of the first book of the Gorean Saga, TARNSMAN OF
GOR, E-Reads is proud to release the very first complete
publication of all Gor books by John Norman, in both print and
ebook editions, including the long-awaited 26th novel in the
saga, WITNESS OF GOR. Many of the original Gor books have been
out of print for years, but their popularity has endured. Each
book of this release has been specially edited by the author
and is a definitive text. 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.About the Author
