Book Description:
Doreen Williamson appeared to be a quiet shy librarian, but in the dark of the library, after hours, she would practice, semi-nude, her secret studies in belly-dancing. Until, one fateful night, the slavers from Gor kidnapped her. On that barbarically splendid counter-Earth, Doreen drew a high price as a dancer in taverns, in slave collar and ankle bells. Until each of her owners became aware that their prize dancer was the target of powerful forces -- that in the tense climate of the ongoing war between Ar and Cos, two mighty empires, Doreen was too dangerous to keep.

Dancer of Gor is a John Norman bonus novel -- an erotic fever-pitched novel of an alien world where men were all-powerful and women were living jewels of desire.

This is probably my favorite of the Gor books, but I must admit I read the first two, then jumped ahead to the ones written from female's perspectives.

Sometimes the writing style bugs me. Most of the characters have the same speech patterns, although that could be just a matter of culture, and I think in one of the books they establish that slaves are trained that way. Other times, the writing feels like it was really translated from Gorean.

I'm not fond of the way Norman interrupts a tender moment between a man and his slave with his philosophies on the nature of men and women, or when he goes on and on with descriptions of animals or customs or some other aspect of everyday life on Gor that is similar to what's going on right now, but not really important to the rest of the book. This late in the series it doesn't happen so much, but you wont miss much skimming past and getting back to the story.

This book was so terrible. Full of pages-long rants of the evils of liberalism and educated women. The occaisional salaciousness didn't make up for how BAD it was. Poorly edited, too.
