Tarnsman of Gor

Gorean Saga, Book 1

By: John Norman

Narrated by: Ralph Lister

Tarl Cabot has always believed himself to be a citizen of Earth. He has no inkling that his destiny is far greater than the small planet he has inhabited for the first 20-odd years of his life. One frosty winter night in the New England woods, he finds himself transported to the planet of Gor, also known as Counter-Earth, where everything is dramatically different from anything he has ever experienced. It emerges that Tarl is to be trained as a Tarnsman, one of the most honored positions in the rigid, caste-bound Gorean society. He is disciplined by the best teachers and warriors that Gor has to offer...but to what end?

This is the first book of John Norman's popular and controversial Gorean Saga, a series of novels the author began in 1967 with Tarnsman of Gor and are now considered cult classics. This audiobook is based on the definitive edition recently published by E-Books.

Don't be scared off by Gor's Reputation

If you want a trashy fantasy series that are of the same ilk of Conan The Barbarian, John Carter of Mars, or dare I say it... Battlefield Earth, This is going to be a very enjoyable book. But whatever you do don't come into this book seeking high art.

Great
