This Gor book actually has a much more entertaining story than the first two, hence three stars. The dialogue is still very stilted though especially between men and women. I know Norman's premise is that women want to be slaves, but FFS, it doesn't make them of sub-normal intelligence and unable to string a sentence together!

Norman can be very tedious.

I recently found out this series has 26 books. I will be reading them all. This book was the best I have read yet.

Swords, sandal, chicks in light bondage, and a hero who always wins the day.
