Part of "Gor" series
"Kajira of Gor" is the eighth book in John Norman's "Gor" series, which explores a fictional counter-Earth called Counter-Earth or Gor, where society is based on ancient Earth's slave culture. 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 kajira is a symbol of the ultimate submission, and Norman delves into the psychological and physical aspects of this relationship. The novel also explores the themes of honor, loyalty, and the importance of personal freedom. "Kajira of Gor" is a well-written and engaging novel that will appeal to fans of science fiction, fantasy, and adventure. However, it should be noted that the novel contains explicit sexual content and violence, and may not be suitable for all readers. Additionally, the novel's portrayal of women and slavery has been criticized as sexist and promoting harmful stereotypes. Overall, "Kajira of Gor" is a thought-provoking and immersive novel that will challenge readers to consider the nature of power, submission, and personal freedom. It is a must-read for fans of the "Gor" series and a recommended addition to any science fiction or fantasy collection...
