So they searched for a new home and found not one but two suitable planets--planets they set their minds to conquering. But these planets, Earth and its sister planet Gor, the Counter Earth, were not undefended. The Kur attempted their conquest four times, only to be beaten back by the mysterious Priest-Kings, rulers of Gor. As the Kurii lurk deep within an asteroid belt, awaiting the chance to seize their prize, their attention is drawn to a human, Tarl Cabot. Tarl was once an agent of Priest-Kings but is now their prisoner, held captive in a secret prison facility. But what is their interest in Tarl Cabot? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKur of Gor\u003c\/i\u003e is the 28th book in the Gorean Saga, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Norman, born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1931, is the creator of the Gorean Saga, the longest-running series of adventure novels in science fiction history. Starting in December 1966 with \u003ci\u003eTarnsman of Gor\u003c\/i\u003e, the series was put on hold after its twenty-fifth installment, \u003ci\u003eMagicians of Gor\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1988, when DAW refused to publish its successor, \u003ci\u003eWitness of Gor\u003c\/i\u003e. After several unsuccessful attempts to find a trade publishing outlet, the series was brought back into print in 2001. Norman has also produced a separate science fiction series, the Telnarian Histories, plus two other fiction works (\u003ci\u003eGhost Dance\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTime Slave\u003c\/i\u003e), a nonfiction paperback (\u003ci\u003eImaginative Sex\u003c\/i\u003e), and a collection of thirty short stories, entitled \u003ci\u003eNorman Invasions\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe Totems of Abydos \u003c\/i\u003ewas published in spring 2012. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e All of Norman's work is available both in print and as ebooks.
