Pertence a Série
A peasant is sent to the arena, fodder for the carnage--but before the horrified gaze of noble ladies, the warrior named Dog slaughters headsmen, hunters, and beasts to win freedom as a full‑fledged gladiator. Then deep‑space rebels attack an Empire ship where Dog performs combat killings for the amusement of the passengers, and the gladiator becomes a rebel. Now a beautiful officer of the court finds her life depends on the mercy of Dog, the man she ordered put to death! Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

I was asked to read The Chieftain as a prelude to reading John Norman’s latest novel, The Usurper. I hoped that the author had found a new direction for his writing but was disappointed to find that the new series of science fiction books are merely the Gor books revisited in a different context.
All the Norman traits are there: endless repetition and the total sexual and other subjugation of women. Men are macho, strong and dominating; woman are soft, weak and to be treated as slaves.
The plotline is largely irrelevant and the characters fairly one-dimensional.
A disappointing read – but the author’s fans may well lap it up. I shall not be reading The Usurper – what’s the point?
