Dancer of Gor

by John Norman

Book Overview

Customer Reviews

Acceptance v. Defiance

Humbly, I would strongly disagree with the one star review ~ I found Doreen's genuine acceptance of her status on the world of Gor to be a refreshing deviation from J.N.'s typical 'rich snotty young woman who pretends to detest men & foolishly tries to resist what is so apparent to everyone else'... that is, that men on Gor ARE Masters & females in slavery WILL serve. Personally, I have found this to be the most enjoyable of the Gor series. From the perspective of one who would like to have an honest interpretation of living in accordance to the ideals of a Love Master/love slave relationship, it was a decidely engaging & insightful read.

The Gor Saga

The Gor Series nearly disappeared, becoming "collector's items" because it isn't "politically correct" to have strong men and submissive women. Glad to see them available and affordable. Get all 27 of them. Dancer is a very good book in the series and one of the most popular.

Captive of Gor

I find these books very arousing. Woman need to know that they are wanted but also to serve. In these books women get both, pleasure from pleasing and pleasure from the men, they make them beg for it to the point that they will just submit. Men could take a few pointer from these books in that pleasure department

Once again John Norman delivers

Doreen Williamson appeared to be a quiet shy librarian, but in the dark of the library, after hours, she would practice, semi-nude, her secret studies in belly-dancing. Until, one fateful night, the slavers from Gor kidnapped her. On that barbarically splended counter-Earth, Doreen drew a high price as a dancer in taverns, in slave collar and ankle bells. Until each of her owners became aware that their prize dancer was the target of power forces---that in the tense climate of the ongoing war between Ar and Cos, two mighty empires, Doreen was too dangerous to keep. DANCER OF GOR is a John Norman bonus novel---an erotic fever-pitched novel of an alien world where men were all-powerful and women were living jewels of desire. Good for those who wish to learn of kajirae dancing & a pleasant read by all means.

Back on form

John Norman fell down with players of Gor which while godd was not great I have read all 26 books and found that there is a 27 out but not in print and unobtainable????Dancer centers around the story of a young lithe librarian of Earth who is brought to gor by Kurii Slavers. The start of the book follows her search for truth and capture on Earth by Teibar of Ar.On her arrival on Gor she is sold to a paga tavern and the owner finds her of interest as a dancer for his customers. She makes friends and enemies and through the work of a jealous rival is stolen and travel across Gor constantly chased and captured til finally she meets Teibar once again and realises that she has loved him from the moment she met him on Earth.A love story, a bondage treatise, A great adventure as with all Gor books They cover many areas and as with all Gor books should be taken as what they are Fiction, Science fantasy.This is one of the best in the series and recaptures the Mood of the earliest books perfectly. Ten out of ten (10/10)
