Partnering with the enemy

One of the better Gor books finds Tarl forming a friendship with one of the Kurii - the alien species determined to conquer Gor. I enjoyed the subtleties of the relationship with Zarendargar, and compared them to those that Tarl formed with humans. The settling is analgous to an Inuit environment. The book is a bit too wordy at times, but features enough action to "save" it.

Tarl Cabot

John Norman strikes again with the Beasts of Gor. The twelfth book in the series. Tarl Cabot's exploits take him to the far north of the planet Gor. An excellently written book. John Norman explores how a culture, similar to our Eskimos, fits in to the fantasy world of Gor. He continues his erotic venture into the world of domination/submission. Tarl Cabot ventures to the North trying to stop the beginnning of a potential invasion of the Kurii. The on-going battle between the Priest-Kings of Gor and thier arch-nemisis the Kurii, draws Tarl once again into the roll of Hero. An excellent mix of humor, action, the truth of human-nature and fantasy rivaling that of John Carter of Mars.
