    Great read
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2014
    Good continuation of book II
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2014
    this is a very good book 3 of the ones I have read I have hopes there will be others to complete the story and not leave us hanging
  • Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2016
    Astonishingly bad and repetitive 'space opera' which is a poorly disguised wank fantasy. Read this if you love endless, endless scenes of mistreating and attacking women. There are also barbarians, a 'Roman Empire', and a plot of sorts, but frankly, any appeal is lost in the echolaliac dialogue and constant, constant repetition of John Lange ("John Norman" is a pen name)'s absorption in the idea that all women should be the slaves of all men, and that they will be happy if they are, and not otherwise. Not recommended.
