About this ebook

A warrior falls as the cult classic sword and sorcery series continues—the inspiration for the film starring Jack Palance.

 Tarl Cabot finds himself transported back to Counter-Earth from the sedate life he has known as a history professor on Earth. He is glad to be back in his role as a dominant warrior and again in the arms of his true love. Yet Tarl finds that his name on Gor has been tainted, his city defiled, and all those he loves made outcasts. He is no longer in the position of a proud warrior, but an outlaw for whom the simplest answers must come at a high price. He wonders why the Priest-Kings have called him back to Gor, and whether it is only to render him powerless.
 
Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire.
 
Outlaw of Gor is the 2nd book in the Gorean Saga, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. 

Ratings and reviews

John Norman is a great writer. The Gorean series, anyone reading the series would have to understand and have to be open minded, this is a different planet. To understand it fully you would need to read the whole series, which I have and I am now rereading it. I love professor John Norman

This didn't seem to share more than a tiny and insignificant resemblance to the movie Outlaw that was the subject of an MST3K treatment.

Not telling me the fate of Cabot is one way to get me to read more.

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. The Internet has proven to be a fertile ground for the imagination of Norman’s ever-growing fan base, and at Gor Chronicles (www.gorchronicles.com), a website specially created for his tremendous fan following, one may read everything there is to know about this unique fictional culture. 

Norman is married and has three children.
