Book Reviews of Guardsman of Gor (Gorean Saga)
Book Review: Interesting New Yarn
Summary: 4 Stars
Guardsman of Gor culminates the trilogy centered on the new character of Jason Marshall, an everyday man who was abducted to Gor and forced into slavery. In the first two books Jason was bewildered at his circomstances, but his coming of age came when he escaped from slavery and gained his freedom.
Like the great Fredrick Douglass (Read My Bondage My Freedom), Jason escapes and forces his former owners and tormenters to learn the error of their ways. Then he becomes a guardsman who fights against the pirates who are opressing the river towns of the Vosk River.
This book was one of the few books where Norman went into detail concerning pirates, who had previously only been alluded to. Here we see pirates and a massive naval battle (A Rarity In The Gor Books). This was what enthralled me-and why I give it Four Stars. Seeing the fighting aboard vessels and the tactics that were used. I wish that Norman had gone into more details like these in his later books instead of boring us with verbose and pedantic ideas on the "superiority" of one gennder over another. I felt like saying: "OK, I get the idea and I heard it all before 100 times. Now I want adventure and action with the principle characters!"
Ironic, because there is actually very little sex in any of these Gor books. Just theoretical discussions about what can and will and should be done, etc. If you want to read a really good book trilogy with lots of sex but with plenty of thick plot, I highly reccomend The Seer King, The Demon King and The Warrior King by the late Chris Bunch. See my review concening the Seer King. It was great! The character Damastes Cimabue would give Tarl Cabot a serious run for his money.
