Here is the magnificent world of Gor, known also as Counter-Earth, a planet as strangely populated, as threatening, as beautiful as any you are likely to encounter in the great works of fiction. Here too is Tarl Cabot - the one picked out of millions to be trained and schooled and disciplined by the best teachers, swordsmen, bowmen on Gor . . . Toward what end, what mission, what purpose? Only Gor holds the answer. SYNOPSIS: Kuurus, of the dread caste of assassins, was on a mission of vengeance. For in the newly rebuilt city of Ko-Ro-Ba, someone had foully murdered a young warrior with flaming red hair - the mark of Tarl Cabot of Ko-Ro-Ba, and formerly of Earth. All guilty men feared a hunting assassin - for none knew which was to be the victim. - and - Slowly they were gathering in Ar, the city from which the great Ubar, Marlenus, had long since been banished. First, there was Kuurus, he of the hooded face and blood-bright sword, seeking vengeance-and something more. And Vella-Vella of Gor, once Elizabeth Cardwell of Earth - a slave now, and willingly, in the infamous House of Cernus, the most powerful slave dealer in Ar. Elizabeth too had a secret mission. As did Cernus. And Hup the Fool - who was no fool at all. And Ho-Sarl and Mip and a dozen more. None of them were what they seemed to be; each had a different purpose. Why were they all gathered here, in Ar? The answers would lie, for each of them, in the battles to be fought in the Stadium of Blades, but most of all in the Stadium of Tarns, when a great, black, warrior tarn, Ubar of the Skies, would lead the way for some - and seal the doom of others . . .
