Book Reviews of Marauders of Gor (Gorean Saga)
Book Review: Disappointing for the Series
Summary: 2 Stars
I have read the Gor books sequentially, the last being The Marauders of Gor. This book to me is the weakest by far in the series. The previous books had revolved around the differences and tensions between Cabot's values as brought from Earth, and the cultural norms of Gor. These values often involved the status of women with respect to submission and their domination by strong men. These same tensions were reflected in the Gor characters themselves, although they generally did not have the philosophical background that Cabot, being from Earth, had. An example of this is when the ultimate leader, Marlenus, fell in love with the panther, Verna, whom he had captured and subdued as a slave. Marlenus released her.
However, absolutely none of these tensions or contradictions were used in The Marauders. Norman instead opts for a tired repetition of his "women all want to be ravished" philosophy. This novel is an unbroken saga of kidnapping, killing, and rape, with a little bit of "War of the World" justification thrown in. Again, my objection is the complete lack of any effort to get inside the characters of the slaves, or indeed of anyone. Cabot seems to be returning to his original identity, but there is no reason for him to do so, other than that he has taken part in enough battles.
I hope the books following this in the series are better. The Gor view is controversial, but up to this book, the setting has always provided a groundwork for actually thinking about the questions. To me, this novel is just a hack, cut-and-paste conglomeration of his previous work.
