Blood Brothers of Gor

Rating:
Summary: the second of two
Review: This book finishes up the saga of Tarl Cabot amongst the Red Savages. *note* it is strongly recommended that "Savages of Gor" be read before "Blood Brothers". This tale starts with our hero deep in the Barrens, lands of the Red Savages and once again John Norman does a wonderful job of setting the local and discribing the participants. Like in "Savages" I'm struck by the majesty and pride inherent in the characters. Events unfold, this time to a climatic conclusion, and it's only through the presence of Tarl Cabot, who plays a pivital role, that matters turn out the way they do. On a par with "Nomads", "Raiders" and "Hunters". thanks

Summary: Norman gets back to his best
Review: With Blood Brothers the series returns (albeit briefly) to something like the quality of the first few. Basically it seems that fans of Gor either like the first 12 or so books (maybe excluding Captive #7) because they like the wonderful descriptive writing, the clever plotting and the general excitement of the series; or they like the later books that focus much more on the SM motif. Blood Brothers is clearly one of the former and well worth reading if you have wearied of Norman's sexual fantasies and are keen to get back to the Tarl Cabot saga.
