So they searched for a new home and found not one but two suitable planets--planets they set their minds to conquering. But these planets, Earth and its sister planet Gor, the Counter-Earth, were not undefended. The Kur attempted their conquest four times, only to be beaten back by the mysterious Priest-Kings, rulers of Gor. As the Kurii lurk deep within an asteroid belt, awaiting the chance to seize their prize, their attention is drawn to a human, Tarl Cabot. Tarl was once an agent of Priest-Kings but is now their prisoner, held captive in a secret prison facility. But what is their interest in Tarl Cabot? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Norman, born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1931, is the creator of the Gorean Saga, the longest-running series of adventure novels in science fiction history. Starting in December 1966 with \u003ci\u003eTarnsman of Gor\u003c\/i\u003e, the series was put on hold after its twenty-fifth installment, \u003ci\u003eMagicians of Gor\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1988, when DAW refused to publish its successor, \u003ci\u003eWitness of Gor\u003c\/i\u003e. After several unsuccessful attempts to find a trade publishing outlet, the series was brought back into print in 2001. Norman has also produced a separate science fiction series, the Telnarian Histories, plus two other fiction works (\u003ci\u003eGhost Dance\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTime Slave\u003c\/i\u003e), a nonfiction paperback (\u003ci\u003eImaginative Sex\u003c\/i\u003e), and a collection of thirty short stories, entitled \u003ci\u003eNorman Invasions\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe Totems of Abydos \u003c\/i\u003ewas published in spring 2012. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e All of Norman's work is available both in print and as ebooks.
