In their contentions with Priest-Kings, Kurii,
savage denizens of the Steel Worlds, concealed within
the asteroid belt, have frequently had recourse to human
allies, and subversion. In accord with such projects,
Kurii have occasionally sought to place and support
congenial administrations in key cities. One such city
is Corcyrus. Corcyrus is ruled by a beautiful woman, the
cruel, arrogant, much-hated Sheila, an agent of Kurii.
It is thought advisable to find a double for Sheila,
who, in case of military or political disaster, may
serve as her proxy, or substitute. For this role an
unwitting young Earth girl, Tiffany Collins, is chosen
and brought to Gor. She is introduced into her role and
led to believe that she, somehow, she unaware of the
true Sheila, is the Tatrix, or female administrator, of
Corcyrus. Defeat in war, and revolution, occur, and the
blood of Sheila is sought by the victors. Tiffany,
fleeing for her life, finds herself alone, frightened,
and unbefriended, a vulnerable Earth female, no more
than a lovely, defenseless barbarian, on the beautiful,
perilous world of Gor. She is a girl without a Home
Stone, and such may be taken in hand, and claimed, as
might be any stray animal, to be collared and owned, to
be put to the pleasure of masters. The expression
'Kajira' is the most common expression in Gorean for a
female slave. Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of
the first book of the Gorean Saga, TARNSMAN OF GOR,
E-Reads is proud to release the very first complete
publication of all Gor books by John Norman, in both
print and ebook editions, including the long-awaited
26th novel in the saga, WITNESS OF GOR. Many of the
original Gor books have been out of print for years, but
their popularity has endured. Each book of this release
has been specially edited by the author and is a
definitive text.
