I have learned to read the Gor books with a number of mental disclaimers in my head.
I know the author will treat me like I am 5 and he is teaching me a lesson I have been particularly recalcitrant in picking up & he will go a bit far in his rhetoric.
As usual in the Gor books, the story is pretty okay. A swashbuckling adventure through hostile lands and peoples. There is just lots more rubbish marking the landscape this time.

This book started a three book trilogy featuring a new character named Jason Marshall, and earthman kidnapped and enslaved on Gor. I thought it had promise but it fell victim to the same old problems that the series began to show after book 10. It was the best of this trilogy, though. The other two books were Rogue of Gor and Guardsman of Gor.
I can't believe that an actual publisher stooped to printing this.
You know, it's not the concepts or the misogyny that grate the most about this book - it's his writing style. It's repetitive and child-like. There's a fairly decent sword and sandals story buried in here but it never gets a chance to shine through all the woman-debasing and poor phrasing.
I wasn't going to read anymore Gor novels, but a friend of mine said that this book wasn't about Tarl Cabot, it's about someone else. It wasn't very good either. I did read the three books of this "trilogy." Didn't care for any of them.
I remember reading this one in my youth. I found Jason's capitivity a real turn on at the time. One for the ladies!!
