Synopsis

Strapping warriors sail through the seas of a Counter Earth—where the powerful have every fantasy fulfilled—in this cult classic sci-fi adventure series. Former Earthman Tarl Cabot finds himself in the most depraved city on Gor. Port Kar is a city of robbers, brigands, and men without allegiance to any cause or kingdom where the weak are quickly consumed by the strong. However, Tarl is able to flourish in the cutthroat environment of the city, for he is a powerful Tarnsman used to having his way. He finds that there is much to learn in Port Kar, where the people are celebrated for their skill of training their voluptuous slaves into utter obedience. Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire.Raiders of Gor is the 6th book in the Gorean Saga, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
