Tarnsman of Gor
-
Earth could never know of Gor, the world always on the opposite
side of the Sun. But Gor somehow knew about Earth, as Tarl Cabot soon discovered.
Taken by force to that savage world, Cabot was forced to become a tarnsman
- a warrior who could control the great war birds of Ko-ro-ba.
Gor was a world of slaves and beautiful women, of human domination
by the alien, secret Priest-Kings. And it was also the world of Talena,
tempestuous daughter of the greatest warlord of Gor. She waited for the man
who who could subdue her-the man who would be her Master.
But was Tarl Cabot that man?

Outlaw of Gor
-
Tarl Cabot's long exile was over. Again he was back on Gor,
the strange world of Counter-Earth, where he had once been the proudest warrior
and mightest tarnsman of that savage planet.
But nothing was as it had been. His home city of Ko-ro-ba was
destroyed, razed until not one stone remained standing. His beautiful mate,
Talena, was dead or vanished. His family and friends were scattered

-
Priest-Kings of Gor
-
Once Tarl Cabot had been the mightiest warrior of Gor, the strange
world of Counter-Earth. But now on all the planet, he had no friends except
the tarn, the mighty bird on which he flew.
He was an outcast, with every hand against him. His home city
had been destroyed, his loved ones scattered or killed. And that was at the
orders of the Priest-Kings, those mysterious beings who ruled absolutely
over Gor.
No man had ever soon a Priest-King. They were said to dwell
somewhere in the Mountains of Sardar. And none who entered that forbidden
land ever returned alive.
Nonetheless, Tarl Cabot headed into the Mountains of
Sardar!

Nomads of Gor
-
Far south of the Sardar Mountains Tarl Cabot pursues his mission
for the Priest-Kings of Gor. He must find their last precious
link to survival. All Tarl knows is that it is hidden somewhere among the
teeming hordes of the savage Wagon People and that he might well be inviting
death to ask for it directly.
There were four major tribes of Wagon Peoples, living of their
herds of constantly moving bosk, riding their savage fighting kaiila, the
women secured in the Wagons they called Home. Fierce, proud and intensely
suspicious, the Wagon Peoples had a nasty habit of killing strangers o sight.
In fact, their word for stranger was synonymous with enemy. When they couldn't
find strangers, they fought among themselves. Thus, all sensible folk avoided
them except at certain times of the year when trading took place. For despite
their simple way of lie, this piratical people was rich-rich with stolen
goods, jewels, slaves taken in raids.
On the Plain of Turia where Tarl finally found them, all creatures,
all men, fled before the thundering herds of the Wagon People.
Except Tarl Cabot.
He alone stood, and waited.
And finally began to move toward the clouds of oncoming dust
that might hold his death.

Assassin of Gor
-
Kuurus was one of the dread caste of assassins on the hidden
world of Counter-Earth. He was hired for twenty pieces of gold to avenge
the death of a warrior. Now he was on his way to the great city of Ar, where
he was forbidden by ancient sentence of death never to appear again.
He knew nothing of his intended victim, save that the man had
taken part in the savage tarn races at the Arena of Ar. And all he knew of
the man he was to avenge was a name.
The name was that of Tarl Cabot, the great warrior and servant
of the all-powerful Priest-Kings. And that was strange.
Because the true name of Kuurus was Tarl Cabot!

-
Raiders of Gor
-
Tarl Cabot was a warrior of Gor-the world that Earth could never
see. Normally, he was a proud and mighty warrior. But now he was bound for
Port Kar, the only city with no home stone to give it a heart. It was a city
of reavers and looters...of outcasts without allegiance. Merchants and pirates
stalked its quays beside the beautiful Sea of Thassa.
Tarl Cabot was headed for the sinkhole of the planet, a teeming
den of iniquity. And that was no place of an honest warrior from
Ko-ro-ba.
But he was no longer Tarl Cabot, the warrior. Now he was only
Bosk...a miserable slave!

Hunters of Gor

Three lovely women were keys to Tarl Cabot's career on Gor,
Earth's orbital counterpart. They were:

queen.
Elizabeth Cardwell who had been Tarl's comrade in two of his
greatest exploits.
Verna, haughty chief of the untamed panther women of the Northern
forests.

Marauders of Gor
-
Tarl Cabot's efforts to free himself from the directive of the
mysterious Priest-Kings of Earth's orbital counterpart were confronted by
frightening reality when horror from the northland finally struck directly
at him.
Somewhere in the harsh lands of transplanted Norsemen was the
first foothold of the alien Others. Somewhere up there was one such who waited
for Tarl. Somewhere up there was Tarl's confrontation with his real destiny--was
he to remain a rich merchant-slaver of Port Kar or become again a defender
of two worlds against cosmic enslavement.
Marauders of Gor is one of the truly great adventures
of the Gorean saga. It brings in barbaric peoples, vivid adventure, fierce
aliens, and the clash of male-female emotions stripped of civilized pretension

adventure.

Tribesmen of Gor
-
The Others were on the move! The Priest-Kings had received a
message: "Surrender Gor." The date had been set or conquest or
destruction.
Tarl Cabot could no longer linger in Port Kar-now he must act
on behalf of the Priest-Kings, on behalf of Gor, and on behalf of Gor's teeming,
unsuspecting, twin world known as Earth.
Evidence pointed to the great wasteland of the Tahari, the desert
known only to the clannish, militant tribes of desert-wanderers. There must
Cabot go. There among the feuds, along the trails of slavers, beyond the
forbidding salt mines to a rendezvous with treachery, with a woman warlord,
with a bandit chief, and with the monster intelligences from the worlds of
steel.
John Norman at his best.

Beasts of Gor
-
On Gor, the other world in Earth's orbit, the term beast can
mean any of three things.

are both beasts of burden and objects of desire.
All three kinds of beasts come into action in this thrilling
novel as the Kurii establish their first beachhead on Gor's polar cap. Here
is a John Norman epic that takes Tarl Cabot from the canals of Port Kar to
the taverns of Lydius, the tents of the Sardar Fair, and to a grand climax
