Part of "Gor" series
"Nomads of Gor" is the twelfth book in the "Gor" series written by John Norman, an American philosopher and author. The series is known for its vivid descriptions of a fictional planet called Gor, which is dominated by a brutal, hierarchical society and where slavery is a common practice. In "Nomads of Gor," the protagonist, Tarl Cabot, finds himself in the company of a group of nomads who roam the plains of Gor. The nomads are a fascinating study in contrast to the city-dwellers that Cabot is used to. They are fiercely independent, living by their own rules and codes of honor. Cabot is forced to adapt to their way of life, learning to hunt and fight alongside them. Throughout the novel, Cabot is confronted with the harsh realities of life on the plains, including the constant threat of raiders and the unforgiving landscape. He also grapples with his own beliefs and values as he is exposed to the nomads' unique culture and way of life. One of the strengths of "Nomads of Gor" is its rich world-building. Norman's detailed descriptions of the nomads' customs, traditions, and way of life make for a compelling and immersive reading experience. The novel also explores themes of power, dominance, and submission, which are central to the "Gor" series as a whole. 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. "Nomads of Gor" is no exception, and readers who are sensitive to these issues may find some of the content disturbing. Overall, "Nomads of Gor" is a thrilling and thought-provoking addition to the "Gor" series. Its rich world-building, engaging plot, and exploration of complex themes make it a worthy read for fans of science fiction and fantasy. However, readers should be aware of its problematic portrayal of women and approach it with a critical eye...
