This is the third installment of John Norman's popular and controversial Gor series. Tarl Cabot is the intrepid tarnsman of the planet Gor, a harsh society with a rigid caste system that personifies the most brutal form of social Darwinism. In this volume, Tarl must search for the truth behind the disappearance of his beautiful wife, Talena. Have the ruthless priest-kings destroyed her? Tarl vows to find the answer for himself, journeying to the mountain stronghold of the kings, knowing full well that no one who has dared approach the priest-kings has ever returned alive....

Review of 'Priest-Kings of Gor' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I had given up on the Gor series, because, well, it's pulp. And not my particular kind of pulp. Somebody suggested that the third book is better and I gave it another go. I must say that it is better than the first two. I love myself a good alien overlord background. But I just cannot get over the main character. It's not only the treatment of women in the Gor universe, but he has no character traits I could enjoy. That is what makes me abandon the series for good.
