Gor Volume 30 - Mariners of Gor

"MARINERS OF GOR is a direct sequel to SWORDSMEN OF GOR and the action
picks up immediately from the end of the earlier book. Many on Gor do
not believe the great ship, the ship of Tersites, the lame, scorned,
half-blind, half-mad shipwright, originally of Port Kar exists. Surely
it is a matter of no more than legend. In the previous book, however,
SWORDSMEN OF GOR, we learn that the great ship, commissioned by unusual
warriors for a mysterious mission, was secretly built in the northern
forests, and brought down the Alexandra to Thassa, the sea, beginning
her voyage to the "World's End," hazarding waters beyond the "farther
islands," from which no previous ship had returned. In MARINERS OF GOR
one learns the history and nature of the voyage through vast, dangerous,
and uncharted waters, a voyage beset with dangers, both within and
without the ship. One encounters storms and calms, fearful marine life
and volcanic seas, hardships, treacheries, intrigues, desertions, and
mutinies, and entrapments in ice and later amongst the thick, broad
tendrils of the narcotic Vine Sea, and, eventually, once come to the
"World's End," one learns what has been the intent and meaning of this
mysterious enterprise, and the human ferocities into which the mariners
find themselves introduced." --- Amazoncom
