Produktbeschreibung
Former earthman Tarl Cabot has been struggling in vain to free himself from the cruel control of the priest-kings of Gor. As he pits his strength against these formidable enemies, a terrible beast appears from the mysterious northern lands, bearing a token of the demise of Tarl’s once-beloved woman Talena. The missive is a sign of defiance and disrespect from Tarl’s enemies, meant to humiliate him and force him to challenge them in response. To gird his weapons and set out on a mission of vengeance against those who sent the beasts means that Tarl must jeopardize his fortune and position as a wealthy slave merchant. But he is no longer practical and calm as he was on Earth. He must conform to the social codes of Gor, where the only way to avenge one’s wounded manhood is to respond with all one’s might. Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire.
Autorenporträt
John Norman, born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1931, is the creator of the Gorean Saga, the longest-running series of adventure novels in science fiction history. Starting in December 1966 with Tarnsman of Gor, the series was put on hold after its twenty-fifth installment, Magicians of Gor, in 1988, when DAW refused to publish its successor, Witness of Gor. After several unsuccessful attempts to find a trade publishing outlet, the series was brought back into print in 2001. Norman has also produced a separate science fiction series, the Telnarian Histories, plus two other fiction works (Ghost Dance and Time Slave), a nonfiction paperback (Imaginative Sex ), and a collection of thirty short stories, entitled Norman Invasions.  The Totems of Abydos was published in spring 2012.  All of Norman’s work is available both in print and as ebooks. The Internet has proven to be a fertile ground for the imagination of Norman’s ever-growing fan base, and at Gor Chronicles (www.gorchronicles.com), a website specially created for his tremendous fan following, one may read everything there is to know about this unique fictional culture.  Norman is married and has three children.
