Savages of Gor

Part of "Gor" series

"Savages of Gor" is the twelfth book in the "Gor" series by John Norman, and it continues the saga of the planet Gor, also known as Counter-Earth, a parallel world with a culture dominated by a rigid caste system and a unique brand of slavery. In "Savages of Gor," the protagonist, Tarl Cabot, finds himself in the midst of a civil war on Gor, as the city-state of Port Kar, once a dominant power, faces rebellion from its subject territories. Cabot is tasked with leading a group of mercenaries to quell the uprising, but he soon discovers that the situation is more complex than he initially thought. The book explores themes of power, loyalty, and identity, as Cabot grapples with his role as a leader and his own beliefs about the nature of slavery on Gor. Along the way, he encounters a diverse cast of characters, from fierce warrior women to cunning politicians, each with their own motivations and agendas. One of the strengths of "Savages of Gor" is its world-building, as Norman vividly depicts the culture and customs of Gor, from its gladiatorial games to its elaborate rituals of slavery. The book also features numerous battles and action sequences, making it a thrilling read for fans of adventure and science fiction. However, it's important to note that the "Gor" series has been criticized for its portrayal of women, who are often depicted as subservient and objectified. While "Savages of Gor" does feature strong female characters, they are still subject to the norms of Gor's patriarchal society. Overall, "Savages of Gor" is a captivating and immersive read that will transport readers to a unique and fascinating world. While it may not be for everyone, fans of epic fantasy and science fiction will find much to enjoy in this latest installment of the "Gor" series...
