This entry was posted in Uncategorized on Decemby george.The Gorean Gor series novels are great reads. I found the later books in the Gor series a bit tedious, but the first four or five books in the series deliver all the action and adventure you could ever want!

“John Noman” is the pseudonym of John Lange, a college professor, who has written 30 novels in the Gor series. This “Counter-Earth” is on the other side of the Sun and is ruled by the insectoid Priest-Kings, an alien race with advanced technology. Back in 1966, I bought a copy of John Norman’s Tarnsman of Gor and was transported into a world very similar to Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Barsoom.
