Description

A rulers body double finds that life isnt easy for an Earth girl on Gor in the cult classic series thats a legend in speculative fantasy (Boing Boing).

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 womanthe cruel, arrogant, much-hated Sheila, an agent of Kurii. It is thought to be 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. Tiffany, fleeing for her life, finds herself alone, frightened, and friendless, a vulnerable Earth female, no more than a lovely, defenseless barbarian on the beautiful, perilous world of Gor.

Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire.

Kajira of Gor is the 19th book in the Gorean Saga, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
