Tarl Cabot, the main character of Tarnsman of Gor, is a pretty normal guy, if something of a loner at the start of the book and in typically 1960s style he is rather incredulously taken from his home-world of Earth to a Counter-Earth world known as Gor. It’s a book and saga that has been on my radar for a long time and I am really pleased that I managed to push past the first couple of chapters and make it through. I’ve tried a couple of times to read this book, but never made it passed the first chapter or so until now. He is disciplined by the best teachers and warriors that Gor has to offer . . . It emerges that Tarl is to be trained as a Tarnsman, one of the most honored positions in the rigid, caste-bound Gorean society. 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. He has no inkling that his destiny is far greater than the small planet he has inhabited for the first twenty-odd years of his life. Tarl Cabot has always believed himself to be a citizen of Earth.
