Paperback. Etat : Used. Here we have Assassin of Gor , a book that does not creep quietly into your life so much as step out of the shadows, adjust its cloak, and inform you?at length?that killing people is a profession , actually, with standards, ethics, and an extremely detailed dress code. Written by John Norman , this instalment takes Gor?s already uncompromising worldview and sharpens it to a very specific point. Forget honourable guardsmen standing at gates or warriors clashing in the open. This is about secrecy, contracts, ritualised murder, and the kind of social order where assassination is not a scandal but an institution. Gor, it turns out, does not merely tolerate assassins?it unionises them. The story moves through dark alleys, tense negotiations, and ceremonial killings conducted with all the gravity of a state occasion. Assassins here are not brutes; they are disciplined, highly trained, and bound by codes so strict they make modern HR departments look anarchic. Expect oaths, rules, taboos, and the ever-present threat that breaking protocol is worse than death itself. In Gor, even murder has compliance requirements. As always, the real spectacle is the tone . Norman does not merely describe Gor; he insists upon it. Every action feels weighted with meaning, every encounter crackles with status anxiety, and every explanation arrives with the confidence of someone who has thought about this far more than you have and would like you to know it. It?s pulp adventure delivered with absolute conviction, which makes it alternately gripping, baffling, and unintentionally funny in the best possible way. Read straight, it?s a gritty tale of power, loyalty, and survival in a lethal profession. Read with a slightly raised eyebrow, it?s also a fascinating artefact of maximalist world-building, where even the act of stabbing someone requires several pages of cultural context. Either way, it keeps you turning pages, if only to see how much more seriously it can take itself. This copy is Used , which is perfect. A pristine Assassin of Gor would feel suspicious. Expect shelf wear, a well-worked spine, and pages that have clearly been turned with purpose. It?s been read, possibly judged, and almost certainly survived someone else?s late-night plunge into the darker corners of Gor. Sold by Crappy Old Books , because some novels aren?t meant to be displayed under glass. They?re meant to be discovered slightly scuffed, faintly dangerous, and unapologetically themselves. Ideal for readers who like their science-fantasy ruthless, their world-building relentless, and their escapism delivered with a straight face and a very sharp knife. N° de réf. du vendeur 2480
