Well! One more chapter of the Gorian saga is over. I think the prevailing question is why do we persist with book after book of terrible writing and editing and keep coming back for the crumbs of storyline Norman graces us with amongst the sea of propaganda and redundant useless information. I have no idea! Three quarters of the book you beat your head with the brick of a book and wonder why are you doing this to yourself, but than he gets the action going and you still feel the elusive something which makes the regular characters compelling and you just want to know what happens with them and the strange world they live on ultimately ... . Somehow by this point they have gotten under your skin and you care, despite the efforts of the author to ruin it all for you! So, I guess I will be on to the next one and when I reach the last book, it better have been worth it!!!!!

I own and have read all of the previous 25 Gor books by this author. When I started the series in my late teens, it was some of the most erotic material I have ever read. Compared to today's material, it rates a meh for eroticism, but maybe I am just cynical.

About the same writing as I remember, but the electronic versions have a few misplaced words and some other minor editing mistakes. I don't like the huge blocks of text, especially during the political wrangling as it gets boring and tiresome fast.

In the authour bio at the back it states DAW publishing refused to publish it. After 12 years of no-one willing to publish it, it came out through vanity press.

DAW and the rest of the publishing industry were absolutely correct in their decision not to publish it. It is clear that between the previous book and this one John must have suffered some sort of brain seixure. The book is complete and utter crap.

Probably my least favorite in the series.
