In "Fighting Slave of Gor," the protagonist, Tarl Cabot, finds himself once again transported from Earth to the planet Gor, a parallel world where technology is medieval and society is organized around a strict caste system based on slavery. This time, Tarl is enslaved himself and must fight for his freedom and the favor of his female master, who is a member of the warrior caste. Along the way, he becomes embroiled in the political machinations of the city-state of Port Kar and its ruler, the Priest-King of Gor. The novel explores themes of power, dominance, and submission, as well as the concept of the "natural order" of society.
