AT THE RISK OF
DEATH


Tarl Cabot, warrior and tarnsman, left the forbidden Sardar Mountains on a mission for the Priest-Kings of Gor, the barbaric world of Counter-Earth.  The Priest-Kings were dying, and he had to find their last link to survival.  All he knew about his goal was that it lay hidden somewhere among the nomads.

There were the Wagon Peoples, the wild tribes that lived off the roving herds of bosk, fiercest of the animals of Gor.  But still more fierce were their masters, the savage Tuchuks. All men fled before them when they moved.

All except Tart Cabot, who stood alone, watching the oncoming clouds of dust that might bring him death.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
