Keep in mind when these books were first written and you will see an amazing imagination at work when you take into account all the things that were not invented or in common usage yet. If these books catch your interest then they will stay with you for life, and you will come back to them over and over. When I first came across these books as a teenager I was in awe of the escapades of the main character, and twenty years later I am over-joyed to see that another book following the actions of the same character has been released. Throughout the series it is possible to see where the author has drawn inspiration from Herodotus and Homer and often sets a feel of ancient Greece or Rome in his scenarios. The detail covered really helps to build a vivid picture in your mind. These books follow a similar pattern to Edgar Rice Burroughs Mars series, although I find the Gor series of a more adult nature. The Gor series are an amazing set of books.
