Kajira of Gor (Gorean Saga) [Paperback]

John Norman (Author)

Book Description

Series: Gorean Saga | Publication Date: June 30, 2007

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 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. She is introduced into her role and led to believe that she, somehow, she unaware of the true Sheila, is the Tatrix, or female administrator, of Corcyrus. Defeat in war, and revolution, occur, and the blood of Sheila is sought by the victors. Tiffany, fleeing for her life, finds herself alone, frightened, and unbefriended, a vulnerable Earth female, no more than a lovely, defenseless barbarian, on the beautiful, perilous world of Gor. She is a girl without a Home Stone, and such may be taken in hand, and claimed, as might be any stray animal, to be collared and owned, to be put to the pleasure of masters. The expression 'Kajira' is the most common expression in Gorean for a female slave. Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the first book of the Gorean Saga, TARNSMAN OF GOR, E-Reads is proud to release the very first complete publication of all Gor books by John Norman, in both print and ebook editions, including the long-awaited 26th novel in the saga, WITNESS OF GOR. Many of the original Gor books have been out of print for years, but their popularity has endured. Each book of this release has been specially edited by the author and is a definitive text.

This review is from: Kajira of Gor (Gorean Saga) (Paperback)

Having read "Imaginative Sex" from the same author before, I understand the Gorean Saga as wonderful collection of truly romantic stories. Every bit of them holds some small truth, wrapped in myths and science fiction stories, vividly and carefully drawn characters and rich phantasies.
"Kajira of Gor" is certainly one of the finest stories of the Gorean Saga, maybe only surpassed by "Slave girl of Gor" but equally thrilling and entertaining.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not my type of fiction., December 14, 2009

This review is from: Kajira of Gor (Gorean Saga) (Paperback)

This novel is seriously anti-woman. Every woman portrayed is either a slave or hateful. The author writes long tirades, supposedly the thoughts of the main character, about the superiority of Gorean men, and the natural inferiority of Gorean women. It is adult fiction. It would probably be good as a marital aid, as the sex scenes are long and sweaty.

This is one of the best of the Gor series, if you happen to like the kajira characters. Some think John Norman goes over the top with his descriptions and plot, but if you're into BDSM and particularly service-oriented play, you'll really enjoy this book.
