Summary: THE TRAIL OF VENGEANCE
Review: Kuurus was one of the dread caste of assassins on the hidden world of Counter-Earth. He was hired for twenty pieves of gold to avenge the death of a warrior. Now he was on his way to the great city of Ar, where he was forbidden by ancient sentence of death never to appear again. He knew nothing of his intended victim, save that the man had taken part in the savage tarn races at the Arena of Ar. And all he knew of the man he was to avenge was a name. The name was that of Tarl Cabot, the great warrior and servant of the all-powerful Priest-Kings. And that was strange. Because the true name of Kuurus was Tarl Cabot!

Summary: Want Politically Correct? Read an encyclopedia....
Review: The first five or six books in the series are serious reads. I find that if you focus on Norman's obvious fascination with bondage, the series lose some of their flavor. This is why some of the later books aren't as well liked. (He REALLY got into the bondage details, for chapters it seemed!) If you're uptight in the least, these books aren't for you, but if you can accept them for what they are, extremely detailed views into a totally alien world with strange cultures, you'll love them as I do. Add to this, a hero such as Tarl Cabot and BAM!
