This page contains a listing of the 25 John Norman books written about Gor, and
the title of the two movies.
01.Tarnsman of Gor
A spectacular world unfolds in this first volume of John Norman's million
selling Gorean series. Tarnsman finds Tarl Cabot transported to Counter Earth,
better known as Gor. He must quickly accustom himself to the ways of this world,
including the caste system which exalts some as Priest Kings or Warriors, and
debases others as slaves.
02. Outlaw of Gor
Outlaw of Gor in which Tarl Cabot, fighting tarnsman of Gor and proud
warrior of Ko-ro-ba, finds his home city razed, his wife and family scattered,
possibly destroyed by the dreaded flame death of the Priest Kings of Sardar-and
Tarl himself declared outlaw. He searches for a clue and ends up in the city of
Tharma with a Taitrix named Lara that treats men as sub class
citizens.
03. Priest-Kings of
Gor
The third volume of John Norman's series. Tarl Cabot, brave Tarnsman of
Gor, searches for the truth about his lovely Free Companion, Talena. Does she
live, or was she destroyed by the mysterious, all-powerful Priest-Kings? Cabot
is determined to find out-even while knowing that no one who has approached the
mountain stronghold of the Priest Kings has ever returned alive.
04. Nomads of Gor
At the risk of death...Tarl Cabot, warrior and tarnsman, left the forbidden
Sardar Mountains on a mission for the Priest-Kings of Gor, the barbaric world of
Counter-Earth. The Priest-Kings were dying, and he had to find their last link
to survival. All he knew about his goal was that it lay hidden somewhere among
the nomads. There were the Wagon Peoples, the wild tribes, that lived off the
roving herds of bosk, fiercest of the animals of Gor. But still more fierce were
their Masters, the savage Tuchuks. All men fled before them when they moved. All
except for Tarl Cabot, who stood alone, watching the oncoming clouds of dust
that might bring him death.
05. Assassin of Gor
The Trail of Vengeance...Kuurus was one of the dread caste of assassins on
the hidden world of Counter-Earth. He was hired for twenty pieces of gold to
avenge the death of a warrior. Now he was on his way to the great city of Ar,
where he was forbidden by ancient sentence of death ever to appear again. He
knew nothing of his intended victim, save that the man had taken part in the
savage tarn races at the Arena of Ar. And all he knew of the man he was to
avenge was a name. The name was that of Tarl Cabot, the great warrior and
servant of the all-powerful Priest Kings. And that was strange. Because the true
name of Kuurus was Tarl Cabot.
06. Raiders of Gor
City of the Damned...Tarl Cabot was a warrior of Gor-the world that Earth
could never see. Normally, he was a proud and mighty warrior. But now he was
bound for Port Kar, the only city with no home stone to give it a heart. It was
a city of reavers and looters...of outcasts without allegiance. Merchants and
pirates stalked its quays beside the beautiful Sea of Thassa. Tarl Cabot was
headed for the sinkhole of the planet, a teeming den of iniquity. And that was
no place for an honest warrior from far Ko-ro-ba. But he was no longer Tarl
Cabot, the warrior. Now he was only Bosk...a miserable slave!
07. Captive of Gor
Spoiled rich young Elinor Brinton was no longer on Earth. She had been
kidnapped from her New York apartment and carried across space to Gor by alien
slavers. Then the ship was wrecked and she was stranded on the strange world of
Counter-Earth, where women were only property, to be beaten and subjugated at
the will of the men who were their Masters. Life to her became a never-ending
nightmare. In the great luxury city of Ko-ro-ba, trained in the provocative
skills of a pleasure slave. In the Northern Forests of Gor, captured by the
fierce outlaw Panther Girls. And finally came Rask of Treve to teach her what
all women should learn!
08. Hunters of Gor
Three lovely women were keys to Tarl Cabot's career on Gor, Earth's orbital
counterpart. They were: Talena, daughter of Gor's greatest ruler and one Tarl's
queen. Elizabeth Cardwell, who had been Tarl's comrade in two of his greatest
exploits. Verna, haughty chief of the untamed panther women of the Northern
forests. Hunters of Gor finally reveals the fate of these three-as Tarl Cabot
ventures into the wilderness to pit his skill and his life against the brutal
cunning of Gorean outlaws and enemy warriors.
09. Marauders of Gor
Tarl Cabot's efforts to free himself from the directive of the mysterious
Priest-Kings of Earth's orbital counterpart were confronted by frightening
reality when horror from the northland finally struck directly at him. Somewhere
in the harsh lands of transplanted Norsemen was the first foothold of the alien
Others. Somewhere up there wasone such who waited for Tarl. Somewhere up there
was Tarl's confrontation with his real destiny-was he to remain a rich
merchant-slaver of Port Kar or become again a defender of two worlds against
cosmic enslavement. Marauders of Gor is one of the truly great adventures of the
Gorean saga. It brings in barbaric peoples, vivid adventure, fierce aliens, and
the clash of male-female emotions stripped of civilized pretension.
10. Tribesmen of Gor
The Others were on the move! The Priest-Kings had received a message:
"Surrender Gor." The date had been set for conquest or destruction. Tarl Cabot
could no longer linger in Port Kar-now he must act on behalf of the
Priest-Kings, on behalf of Gor, and on behalf of Gor's teeming, unsuspecting,
twin world known as Earth. Evidence pointed to the great wasteland of the
Tahari, the desert known only to the clannish, militant tribes of
desert-wanderers. There must Cabot go. There among the feuds, along the trails
of slavers, beyond the forbidding salt mines to a rendezvous with treachery,
with a woman warlord, with a bandit chief, and with the monster intelligences
from the worlds of steel.
11. Slave Girl of Gor
Slave Girl of Gor... Tarl Cabot resumed his allegiance to the Priest Kings,
the non-human but benevolent rulers of Earth's orbital twin planet, Gor. And
accordingly Tarl knew that the battle for possession of the planet was under
way--the Kurii, the beastlike invaders, had made their plans. There was a girl,
once Judy Thornton of Earth, found in the wilderness of Gor. Captured, as such
lovely strangers were on that ruthless world, she was to undergo the training
that would make her a slave girl of great value. But unknown to her captors was
the fact that she was a tool of the Kurii, that she carried a programmed message
that imperilled the future of Gor. It was for possession of her mind and body
that Priest-King and Kur-monster battled, while a planet went its way
unsuspecting that its very fate was also locked within the slave collar that
graced her neck.
12. Beasts of Gor
On Gor, the other world in Earth's orbit, the term beast can mean any of
three things: First, there are the Kurii, the monsters from space who are about
to invade that world. Second, there are the Gorean warriors, men whose fighting
ferocity is incomparable. Third, there are the slave girls, who are both beasts
of burden and objects of desire. All three kinds of beasts come into action in
this thrilling novel as the Kurii establish their first beachhead on Gor's polar
cap. Here is a John Norman epic that takes Tarl Cabot from the canals of Port
Kar to the taverns of Lydius, the tents of the Sardar Fair, and to a grand
climax among the red hunters of the Arctic ice pack.
13. Explorers of Gor
All the glorious panorama of Earth's planetary twin, barbaric Gor, is
present in John Norman's latest novel. When the shield ring of the much feared
Kurii falls into the possession of a mysterious black explorer, it becomes vital
to the Priest-Kings that Tarl Cabot himself regain that ancient product of an
alien science. Hisquest brings him to the unmapped interior of the great
equatorial rain-forests and into new dangers without parallel. Here are jungle
kingdoms and tropical trade cities, fierce beasts and fiercer men. And at the
heart of this full-bodied Gorean novel is a lost city-and a linage of the
loveliest enemy agents ever lured from the cities of far-off Terra.
14. Fighting Slave of
Gor
Attempting to save his girlfriend from a Gorean slave trap, Jason
Marshall found himself kidnapped to that legendary counter-Earth planet. And as
such found himself the first "civilized" Earth male to become enslaved in the
ruthless chains of Gorean society. Jason Marshall's startling adventures make
constantly fascinating reading as he is made to be the slave of a haughty woman,
then her fighting champion, and finally amid the turmoil of primitive warfare to
seek his liberty in order to search for his lost love amid the slave marts of
that alien and turbulent planet.
15. Rouge of Gor
Jason Marshall learned the meaning of manhood and the power of women, both
dominant and submissive, when he was kidnapped from Earth to the Counter-Earth
called Gor. Winning his freedom, Jason set out single-handed to win his own
place on that gloriously barbaric world on the other side of the sun. His intent
was to find the girl who had been enslaved with him. But that quest thrust him
smack in the middle of the war that raged between Imperial Ar and the Salerian
Confederation-and the secret schemes of the pirate armada that sought control of
the mighty trading artery of the fighting cities.
16. Guardsman of Gor
Guardsman of Gor...From kidnapped collegian to a woman's slave, from
landless fugitive to warrior-captain, the life of Jason Marshall on Earth's
orbital twin was a constant struggle against the naked power and barbaric
traditions of glorious Gor. Now, in the heat of a desperate naval battle against
overwhelming odds, Jason faced the pivotal hours of his Gorean career. For him
victory would mean a homeland, a warrior's honors, and the lovely Earthgirl who
was the prize he had long sought. Defeat would mean degradation worse than the
chains he had once escaped. Guardsman of Gor is the blazing climax of this saga
of one man against an entire world.
17. Savages of Gor
The Kur came to Port Kar! Two of the terrible space beasts came to make Tarl
Cabot an offer. They, a death-squad, sought the Kur commander, the great
Half-Ear, whom Tarl had once battled in the Far North. But Tarl refused their
offer, for Half-Ear was more valuable to the Priest-Kings alive than to the Kur
dead. And now he knew it was imperative for him to save that monster from the
doom that would fast overtake him. This meant venturing the forbidden Barrens of
Gor-a vast land of plains and prairies whose cruel Masters were tribes of savage
red riders and where civilized men were always prey and their women mere
trophies of the hunt! Tarl Cabot returns in one of his greatest adventures.
18.
Blood Brothers of Gor
Tarl Cabot, seeking the monsters from the Steel Worlds,
found himself among the cruel savages who ruled the vast Barrens. Though himself
enslaved, he stood with his comrades and Masters against a coming onslaught. For
the Kur had united the enemies of the tribe that held Cabot, and death and
destruction were unleashed. Out of the plains came riding hordes of feud-driven
braves, from the skies came a host of maddened tarn-riders, and even among the
slave girls held by the blood brothers there was devilish treason. Blood
Brothers of Gor is one of the great John Norman epics. Itis a long novel of
constant action, told in depth and detail, of a struggle fought for the fate of
a world where strong men clash and beautiful women await their victors.
19.
Kajira of Gor
Kajira means slave-girl in Gorean. But when Tiffany Collins
was kidnapped from Earth and brought to that orbital counter-world, she found
herself on the throne of a mighty city as its "queen". Power seemingly was hers,
and she did not realize that her true role was that of a slave puppet of a
conniving woman agent of the monstrous Kurii. But a chained slave she was
destined to be, and in the course of the complex, visible and invisible,
struggles between the warriors and cities, between Kurii and Priest-Kings, she
would play a pivotal role. Kajira of Gor is one of the mostexcitingly vivid
novels John Norman has written. Here is all the color and terror of Gor. Here,
between crown and fetters, between adulation and total submission, is the
full-scale panorama of that wonderful, barbaric world as only Tarl Cabot knew
it.
20.
Players of Gor
Players of Gor...During the holiday revels of Port Kar, an
attempt is made on the life of Tarl cabot. And Tarl discovers that the
Priest-Kings have turned against him! To clear himself of their charge of
treason, he must follow the assassin's trail. The way to achieve that was to
join, in disguise, a troupe of traveling Player, a sort of Gorean carnival,
which world give him entry to enemy cities and hostile territories. But life in
such a carnival is always a risk in itself. There are monsters in form and
monsters in mind among them--and there may be spies of the alien Kurs and the
Priest-Kings. Players of Gor is a rich and full adventure on that world where
free men must fight and slave girls must yield, where life and liberty may
depend on the chance moves of a game board or the edged passions of the dueling
ground. And where Tarl's destiny must bring him face to face with a conspiracy
of superhuman powers.
21. Mercenaries of
Gor
War on Gor is a rousing and fearful affair--and when the armada of Cos
landed and began its sweeping arch against the mighty city of Ar, Tarl Cabot was
swept up in their drive. Outcast from Port Kar, rejected by the Priest Kings,
Tarl fought now for his own redemption. With comrades at his side, barbarian
warriors and daring women, free and slave, his plans went forward--until
mercenaries of Detrich of Tamburg disrupted the struggle as a mysterious third
force. Mercenaries of Gor brings into action all the magic and conflict of that
counter-Earth, Tarl became the center of intrigue and treachery in the city of
its greatest enemies.
22. Dancer of Gor
Doreen Willimson appeared to be a quiet shy librarian, but in the dark of
the library, after hours, she would practice, semi-nude, her secret studies in
belly-dancing. Until, one fateful night, the slavers from Gor kidnapped her. On
that barbarically splendid counter-Earth, Doreen drew a high price as a dancer
in taverns, in slave collar and ankle bells. Until each of her owners became
aware that their prize dancer was the target of powerful forces--that in the
tense climate of the ongoing war between Ar and Cos, two mighty empires, Doreen
was too dangerous to keep. Dancer of Gor is a John Norman bonus novel--an erotic
fever-pitched novel of an alien world where men were all-powerful and women were
living jewels of desire.
23. Renegades of Gor
As the bloody tide of war spread over Gor, Tarl Cabot, outcast by the
Priest-Kings, became deeply enmeshed in the military combat between the empire
of Ar and the invaders from Cos. His fate would depend upon which proved
victorious in the coming confrontation at Ar's besieged river port. And it
looked like Tarl himself might prove the deciding factor that would tip the
scales of destiny for one side or the other... With Renegades of Gor, all the
complexity and intrigue of John Norman's saga comes together to create an
adventure replete with danger, excitement, and romance in the unforgettable
realm of Gor--where courage remains meaningful, and pride and honor, never
forgotten.
24. Vagabonds of Gor
As treachery and betrayal become the prime weapons in the war between Ar and
Cos, Tarl Cabot is trapped in the siege of Ar's Station. And when Ar's Station
falls to the warriors of Cos, it is only with the aid of the loyal Vosk League,
that Tarl and other survivors make their escape from the defeated port. But with
the forces of Cos now readying to continue on their devastating march of
conquest, Tarl must go undercover as a spy within the enemy camp, hoping to
discover their plans and send word to Ar's army before it is too late... In
Vagabonds of Gor, Tarl Cabot faces perhaps his greatest challenge of all, as he
is caught up in the myriad dangers and intrigue of two mighty powers at war!
25.
Magicians of Gor
With the capital city of Ar under the sway of the beautiful
taitress Talena, a ruler placed in power by the Cosian invaders, Tarl Cabot and
the Delta Brigade, the members of the underground force sworn to defeat Cos,
must call upon the unique talents of master magician Boots Tarsk-Bit to
recapture the precious Home Stone o vanquished Ar's Station. For snatching the
Home Stone from the enemy's grasp may prove the vital ingredient in Tarl's
desperate and dangerous campaign to rouse the people of Ar to fight on to regain
their freedom from the hated foe....In Magicians of Gor, Tarl Cabot and his
allies must work a unique magic with illusions and swordblades to root out the
treachery at the heart of a mighty empire.
