The books were decent planetary romances with a bit more sex than
Burroughs until such time as Tarl Cabot himself got enslaved and never
completely recovered.  That actually turned out to be a decent book with
the epic "**This** is the homestone of Port Kar" sequence, but after that
the kink continued to rise at the expense of the story.

IMHO, Lynn would do better to start (re-start?) the Dray Prescot books
than the Gor ones.
