About this ebook

A shy librarian from Earth learns her true female nature as a slave dancer on the planet Gor in this fantasy series where men dominate women.

Doreen Williamson is a quiet, shy librarian on Earth. Like many other young women, she is distrustful of her attractions, frightened of men, introverted in manner and sexually inhibited. She lives within a quiet, lonely, dissatisfying, sheltered, and frustrated desperation, distant from her true self, her nature denied, her only friends books and her secret thoughts. In the realization and enactment of a profound fantasy, after acute self-conflict, she dares to study a form of dance in which she is at last free to move her body as a female, a form of dance in which she may revel in her beauty and womanhood, a form of dance historically commanded by masters of selected, suitable slaves: belly dance. She must then dance, for the first time, before men. In doing so, she discovers her own desirability and that she may be well bid upon.
 
Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire.
 
Dancer of Gor is the 22nd book in the Gorean Saga, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Ratings and reviews

This is one of the worst things ive ever read. The book would have been like half its length if the author didn't repeat himself so often. I swear he just copys and pastes the same paragraphs over and over. The dialogue between characters is infuriating. People do not talk like that. I understand its an alien world or whatever but the main character is from earth and all her dialogue is atrocious. Also the subject matter makes 50 shades look like a feminist Masterpiece. I am dumbfounded by the fact that there are so many books in this series.

i was surprisingly impressed once i got into the characters. i had tried one of the very 1st novels and couldn't get thru a chapter. this was a good book, as far as this one feels....

About the author

John 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 Tarnsman of Gor, the series was put on hold after its twenty-fifth installment, Magicians of Gor, in 1988, when DAW refused to publish its successor, Witness of Gor. 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 (Ghost Dance and Time Slave), a nonfiction paperback (Imaginative Sex), and a collection of thirty short stories, entitled Norman Invasions. The Totems of Abydos was published in spring 2012. 

All of Norman’s work is available both in print and as ebooks.
