Many on Gor do not believe the great ship of Tersites, the lame, scorned, half-blind, half-mad shipwright, originally of Port Kar, exists. Surely it is a matter of no more than legend. In the previous book, however, Swordsmen of Gor , we learned that the great ship, commissioned by unusual warriors for a mysterious mission, was secretly built in the northern forests and brought down the Alexandra to Thassa, the sea, beginning her voyage to the “World’s End,” hazarding waters beyond the “farther islands” from which no ship had returned. Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire. Mariners of Gor is the 30th book in the Gorean Saga, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. Review: Odysseus - the Gorean way - Hello everyone. This review is from the Kindle version of the book. First off, let me say that I am a long time John Norman fan. Very much at home in the other worldly adventures of Tarl Cabot, et. al, on the World Of Gor. This review also assumes that you have read Swordsmen of Gor (the book before this one). One presumes this is a trilogy but I could be wrong. Norman doesn't give too many hints on where his plot or characters are going from book to book unless it is obvious. The grand adventure starts in Swordsmen where the gigantic ship of Tersites is built; Tarl is compelled to "play nice" with the Pani (and lead them as Commander, of course) and off they go. Mariners is told from two 1st persons point of view, I believe. The main protagonist is Callias from Cos and he play a rather large role in the book. His observations of Tarl Cabot and Tarl's actions and demeanor are pretty cool. "For such an officer one would die" is mentioned a couple of times. Seremides is quite the villain in this book and gets a small come-uppance but you want to definitely get the book to read those passages. The ship sails and takes quite a beating from various forces, internal and external. The book is quite good. It took me a while to figure out who the real villain was in the book so now I'm definitely chomping at the bit for number 31! You would think a story told almost completely on a ship at sea would get boring - nope. John Norman does a good job keeping the action going except, of course, when he goes into his "slave girls are great" spiel. The end of the book is somewhat mellow; very anti-climatic in my opinion. However,one realizes that there has to be another story (called at this time "Conspirators of Gor") so one is inclined to let ending be and get ready for another ride in book 31. Again, I enjoyed reading this book; I think you will too. Review: Best of the non-Tarl books - Although I always long for Tarl Cabot - the thousand-year warrior - when I read a John Norman book, I must admit this was perhaps the best of those which do not feature Cabot as the protagonist. It is something of an Odyssey-like epic, and the swordsman who is the hero is engaging. (It does help that Cabot is an undisguised background character.) It is also nice to have a character who is not wallowing in his dishonor all the time, even if he has had some setbacks. It was great to see the great ship of Tersites at work at last! That alone is not to be missed. As always, I have to read around the fetish scenes, but it was not too tough, as there was enough other text to make it worth it. This novel makes the reader long for the sequel, but wraps up the individual story, which does not always happen with fantasy. This story only begins to explore the Japanese culture, and I look forward to more in the next book. Exploring adventures in other cultures is half the fun of Gor. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #450,558 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,945 in Fantasy Action & Adventure #3,984 in Epic Fantasy (Books) #5,143 in Dark Fantasy | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 104 Reviews | ## Images ![Mariners of Gor (Gorean Saga) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wy5YZGRbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Odysseus - the Gorean way *by C***W on November 5, 2011* Hello everyone.

I expected it to.
