Like many other young women, she is distrustful of her attractions, frightened of men, introverted in manner and sexually inhibited. She lives within a quiet, lonely, dissatisfying, sheltered, and frustrated desperation, distant from her true self, her nature denied, her only friends books and her secret thoughts. In the realization and enactment of a profound fantasy, after acute self-conflict, she dares to study a form of dance in which she is at last free to move her body as a female, a form of dance in which she may revel in her beauty and womanhood, a form of dance historically commanded by masters of selected, suitable slaves: belly dance. She must then dance, for the first time, before men. In doing so, she discovers her own desirability and that she may be well bid upon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDancer of Gor \u003c\/i\u003eis the 22nd book in the Gorean Saga, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Norman, born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1931, is the creator of the Gorean Saga, the longest-running series of adventure novels in science fiction history. Starting in December 1966 with \u003ci\u003eTarnsman of Gor\u003c\/i\u003e, the series was put on hold after its twenty-fifth installment, \u003ci\u003eMagicians of Gor\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1988, when DAW refused to publish its successor, \u003ci\u003eWitness of Gor\u003c\/i\u003e. After several unsuccessful attempts to find a trade publishing outlet, the series was brought back into print in 2001. Norman has also produced a separate science fiction series, the Telnarian Histories, plus two other fiction works (\u003ci\u003eGhost Dance\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTime Slave\u003c\/i\u003e), a nonfiction paperback (\u003ci\u003eImaginative Sex\u003c\/i\u003e), and a collection of thirty short stories, entitled \u003ci\u003eNorman Invasions\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe Totems of Abydos \u003c\/i\u003ewas published in spring 2012. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e All of Norman's work is available both in print and as ebooks.
