THE TRIAL
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!

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.

JOHN NORMAN


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.  It is 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.

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 !ands of transplanted Norsemen was the first foothold of the alien Others.  Somewhere up there was one 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 that has made John Norman the bestselling writer of high fantasy adventure.

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 Tart Cabot, who stood alone, watching the oncoming clouds of dust that might bring him death.

EXILE'S
RETURN


Tarl Cabot's long exile was over.  Again he was back on Gor, the strange world of Counter-Earth, where he had once been the proudest warrior and mightiest tarnsman of that savage planet.

But nothing was as it had been.  His home city of Ko-ro-ba was destroyed, razed until not one stone remained standing.  His beautiful mate, Talena, was dead or vanished.  His family and friends were scattered across the globe.

And Cabot was now declared an outlaw, with all men ordered to kill him on sight.  His only chance was to find the strange Priest-Kings who ruled Gor and to submit himself to them.

But Tarl Cabot was not about to submit!

Once Tarl Cabot had been the mightiest warrior of Gor, the strange world of Counter-Earth.  But now on all the planet, he had no friends except the tarn, the mighty bird on which he flew.

He was an outcast, with every hand against him.  His home city had been destroyed, his loved ones scattered or killed.  And that was at the orders of the Priest-Kings, those mysterious beings who ruled absolutely over Gor.

No man had ever seen a Priest-King.  They were said to dwell somewhere in the Mountains of Sardar.  And none who entered that forbidden land ever returned alive.

Nonetheless, Tarl Cabot headed into the Mountains of Sardar!

CITY
OF THE
DAMNED


Tart 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!

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, Jascn 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.

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 renegade Kur commander, the great Half-Ear, whom Tad 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 into 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.

SLAVE GIRL OF GOR


Tarl Cabot had 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 the possession of the planet was under way - the Kuril, 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 of her a slave girl of great value.  But unknown to her captors was the fact that she was a tool of the Kuril, 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.

THE
HIDDEN
WORLD


Earth could never know of Gor, the world always on the opposite side of the Sun.  But Gor somehow knew about Earth, as Tarl Cabot soon discovered.  Taken by force to that savage world, Cabot was forced to become a tarnsman - a warrior who could control the great war birds of Ko-ro-ba.

Gor was a world of slaves and beautiful women, of human domination by the alien, secret Priest-Kings.  And it was also the world of Talena, tempestuous daughter of the greatest warlord of Gor.  She waited for the man who could subdue her - the man who would be her master.

But was Tarl Cabot that man?

BY THE
AUTHOR OF THE
GOR NOVELS


The author of the novels of Tarl Cabot on Gor, Earth's orbital counterpart, has turned his talent to the problem of time travel and our own world's primitive era.

What has happened to man since the days when his rugged ancestors battled the mastodon and the saber-toothed tiger and wrested a living from the raw nature of an untamed world?

This was the directive that brought a dedicated group of scientists to devise a means of sending one of their number back into the Old Stone Age when the great hunters of the Cro-Magnon days ripped the world away from the Neanderthals and their savage clan rivals.

It's a John Norman novel comparable to his epics of Gor and to the best jungle sagas of the mighty Tarzan.

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.

John Norman at his best!
