Part of "Gor" series
"Marauders of Gor" is the twelfth book in the "Gor" series, penned by John Norman. The series is a collection of science fiction novels that take place on the counter-Earth of Gor, a planet that is similar to Earth but is located on the opposite side of the sun. "Marauders of Gor" follows the story of Tarl Cabot, a warrior who has become embroiled in the power struggles and politics of this alien world. In this installment, Tarl finds himself in the midst of a war between the city-state of Ar and the marauders of the title, a group of barbarian warriors who raid and pillage the cities of Gor. The novel is a classic example of Norman's style, which combines elements of sword-and-sorcery adventure with philosophical discussions on topics such as morality, power, and the nature of humanity. The world-building in the series is particularly noteworthy, with Norman creating a rich and detailed world that is both familiar and exotic. However, it is important to note that the "Gor" series has been criticized for its portrayal of women, which some have described as sexist and degrading. The series features a system of slavery, in which women are often portrayed as subservient to men, and this has been a point of contention for many readers. Overall, "Marauders of Gor" is a thrilling and thought-provoking addition to the "Gor" series. While it may not be to everyone's taste due to its controversial themes, it is a well-written and engaging novel that will appeal to fans of science fiction and adventure. Those who are new to the series may want to start with an earlier book, as the world and characters are already well-established by this point...
