Description

Barbarian warriors, sexy slaves, and swordplay on a Counter-Earth in the series that's "a legend in speculative fantasy" (Boing Boing). Long ago in their intraspecific conflicts, a violent, technologically sophisticated life form, the Kurii, destroyed their native world. They now seek another. Between Earth and Gor, or the Counter-Earth, and the power of the imperialistic, predatory Kurii, now ensconced in the "Steel Worlds," a number of satellite colonies concealed amongst the debris of the show more asteroid belt, stands only the defensive might of the Priest-Kings of Gor. Tarl Cabot, once of Bristol, England, laboring on behalf of the Priest-Kings, once managed to foil a Kur attempt to set the stage for an invasion of Gor. But to pursue this mission, Cabot must enter and traverse the Barrens, the vast Eastern prairies of the primary Gorean continent, lands contested by tribes of warring savages, lands forbidden to strangers.   Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire.   Savages of Gor is the 17th book in the Gorean Saga, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.  show less
