The series is known for its exploration of themes such as dominance and submission, masculinity and femininity, and the role of violence in society. "Kajira of Gor" follows the story of Tarl Cabot, a warrior-captain and citizen of the city-state of Ko-Ro-BA, who is tasked with finding a missing girl named Anna. Anna has been kidnapped and taken to the city of Port Kar, where she is being trained as a kajira, a slave-girl. Tarl must navigate the dangerous and complex society of Gor to rescue Anna and bring her back to her home. Throughout the novel, Norman explores the concept of the kajira, a slave-girl who is trained to serve her master in all ways, including sexually.

The novel also explores the themes of honor, loyalty, and the importance of personal freedom.
