A ruler's body double finds that life isn't easy for an Earth girl on Gor in the cult classic series that's "a legend in speculative fantasy" (Boing Boing). In their contentions with Priest-Kings, Kurii, savage denizens of the Steel Worlds concealed within the asteroid belt, have frequently had recourse to human allies and subversion. In accord with such projects, Kurii have occasionally sought to place and support congenial administrations in key cities. One such city is Corcyrus. Corcyrus is ruled by a beautiful woman--the cruel, arrogant, much-hated Sheila, an agent of Kurii. It is thought to be advisable to find a double for Sheila, who, in case of military or political disaster, may serve as her proxy or substitute. For this role, an unwitting young Earth girl, Tiffany Collins is chosen and brought to Gor. Tiffany, fleeing for her life, finds herself alone, frightened, and friendless, a vulnerable Earth female, no more than a lovely, defenseless barbarian on the beautiful, perilous world of Gor.   Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire.   Kajira of Gor is the 19th book in the Gorean Saga, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. … (more)

a fun and amusing romp. This is the type of book that you will love or loathe. You will either relax and have fun or you will be so offended at the concepts you won't be able to see straight.
Personally, I enjoyed watching her try to find a way out of her predicament. ( )

Book description
Kajira means slave-girl in Gorean. But when Tiffany Collins was kidnapped from Earth and brought to that orbital counter-world, she found herself on the throne of a might city as its "queen." Power seemingly was hers and she did no realize that her true role was that of a slave puppet of a conniving woman agent of the monstrous Kurii.

But a chained slave she was destined to be, and in the course of the complex, visible and invisible, struggles between warriors and cities, between Kurii and Priest-Kings, she would play a pivotal role.
