More about the book
The games of Gor are varied, encompassing planetary politics where worlds are contested, city rivalries, and the strategies of powerful cavalries and fleets. Among these, smaller, bloody games are played on sandy squares with edged weapons, and Kaissa, a popular board game with wooden pieces on a hundred-square board, holds unexpected significance. The dominant power in northern Gor is the mighty imperium of Ar, which faces threats from the maritime ubarates of Cos and Tyros, who plan attacks and subversion. Cabot, originally from Earth, becomes embroiled in these intrigues after a failed assassination attempt leads him to Brundisium. There, he finds not only vengeance but also crucial enciphered documents related to the plots of Cos and Tyros, intended for delivery to Ar. However, the armada of the maritime ubarates is already approaching Brundisium. Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the Gorean Saga's first book, E-Reads releases the complete collection of all Gor novels by John Norman, including the long-awaited 26th installment, WITNESS OF GOR. Many earlier books have been out of print, yet their popularity remains strong, and each volume in this release has been meticulously edited by the author for definitive text.
