About this listen

Doreen Williamson is a quiet, shy librarian on Earth. As many other young women she is distrustful of her attractions, frightened of men, introverted in manner and sexually inhibited. She lives in a quiet, lonely, dissatisfying, sheltered, frustrated desperation, distant from her true self, her nature denied, her only friends books and her secret thoughts. In the realization and enactment of a profound fantasy, after acute self-conflict, she dares to study dancing, a form of dance in which she is at last free to move her body as a female, a form of dance in which she may revel in her beauty and womanhood, a form of dance historically commanded by masters of selected, suitable slaves: belly dance.

Thus may she fantasize her longed-for desirability. This is, of course, her delicious, shameful secret, one which must be concealed from all, one which must be forever carefully guarded. Unbeknownst to herself, however, she has independently come to the attention of skilled assessors of women, of Gorean slavers. While secretly practicing in the library after hours she is surprised by three men. She must then dance, for the first time, before men. For the first, time, too, she discovers her own desirability, and that she is such as may be well bid upon. She will be taken to the beautiful, perilous world of Gor, there, in a collar, to learn her womanhood, and there, at last, to beautifully and profoundly find and fulfill herself.

Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the first book of the Gorean Saga, Tarnsman of Gor, E-Reads is proud to release the very first complete publication of all Gor books by John Norman, in both print and audiobook editions, including the long-awaited 26th novel in the saga, Witness of Gor. Many of the original Gor books have been out of print for years, but their popularity has endured. Each book of this release has been specially edited by the author and is a definitive text.

Terribly Narrated

This story is ruined by the narration. I've listened to many audio books and this is by far the worst I have encountered.

AI

The narrator often sounds like a robot. Sometimes she tries to sound like an American woman. Sometimes she tries to sound like a foreigner from one of those countries that only exist in cheap spy films. She has a limited number of voices but still forgets which character she is playing.
That is understandable.
I think I have learned more about writing novels from John Norman than from the great books I read at school. His characters are so similar. Their motives...
Do they have motives? Hopes? Dreams?
I intended writing a spoof of the Gor books but gave it up. It is not possible for me to write anything more ridiculous than these. The society is more contradictory than anything on Earth but everyone insists this is natural.
