Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
1 10 I thought him dead until I received his strange message, more than twenty years after he had vanished.

1 65 I widened my search, keeping that strange metal envelope with its blue ambience the center of my movements.
Details
10
1 71 It was a strange object.
Details
10
1 109 Tired of this strange business, I set the envelope aside and turned my attention to the chili, which was now bubbling over the small campfire.
Details
10
1 121 Perhaps only one man could open that envelope—he whose print fitted the strange lock, he whose name was Tarl Cabot.
Details
10
2 48 I felt like a child, knowing nothing, taken to some complex factory or store, unable to sort out his impressions, unable to comprehend the new and strange things that flash incessantly upon him.
Details
10
2 72 He straightened and turned to face me across that simple, strange room.
Details
10
2 90 I nodded, not wanting to speak, wanting him to tell me the thousand things I had to know, to dispel the mysteries that had torn me from my native world and brought me to this strange room, this planet, to him, my father.
Details
10
2 126 Indeed, there is a saying on Gor, a saying whose origin is lost in the past of this strange planet, that one who speaks of Home Stones should stand, for matters of honor are here involved, and honor is respected in the barbaric codes of Gor.
Details
10
2 171 Even the technology of the envelope with its patterned thumb-lock, the disorientation of my compass, and the ship that had brought me, unconscious, to this strange world, argued for an incredible grasp of unusual, precise, and manipulable forces.
Details
10
2 221 "And long ago I made the same strange journey.

2 267 He did not wish to discuss the reason for which I had been brought to the Counter-Earth, nor did he explain to me the comparatively minor mysteries of the envelope and its strange letter.

6 170 "This is the daughter of the Ubar Marlenus," said Nar, and added ironically, "She did not remember to thank you for saving her life, which is strange, is it not, for a rational creature?" "Silence, Insect," said the daughter of the Ubar, her voice loud, clear, and imperious.

10 3 Kazrak's remark was in accord with the strange warrior codes of Gor, codes which were as natural to him as the air he breathed, and codes which I, in the Chamber of the Council of Ko-ro-ba, had sworn to uphold.

11 89 She placed them firmly in my hands and knelt on the tent carpet before me, her eyes filled with a strange light, her knees not in the position of a Tower Slave but of a Pleasure Slave.

Book 2. (31 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
1 40 He spun like a tiger with a sudden cry of rage in some strange tongue and I found myself seized in hands like steel and with great force hurled helplessly across his knee, my spine an inch from being splintered like kindling wood.
Details
10
1 94 As he performed this gesture, he uttered some formula in that strange tongue I had heard but once before—when I had nearly perished at his hands.
Details
10
1 102 He seemed tall, strange, almost of another world in that subdued light, in that quiet atmosphere of small, genial civilized noises.
Details
10
1 105 And in that sudden instant of startled, awe-struck silence, I heard him clearly, intensely, repeat in a hoarse whisper that strange phrase, "Ta-Sardar-Gor!" The bartender, a heavy, soft-faced man, waddled to the table.
Details
10
1 120 My touch seemed to snap him out of his strange mood.
Details
10
1 170 We shook hands, and I had the strange feeling that I might never see Tarl Cabot again.
Details
10
1 174 I walked for some hours, in spite of my fatigue, thinking, puzzling about these strange things of which I had heard.
Details
10
2 15 There was no love in my heart for the Priest-Kings, those mysterious denizens of the Sardar Mountains, whoever or whatever they might be, but there was gratitude in my heart, either to them or to the strange forces that moved them.
Details
10
2 62 It felt strange to hold it again in my hand, to feel its weight, the familiar grasp of the hilt.
Details
10
4 24 I caught a strange, unpleasant scent, much like that of a common weasel or ferret, only stronger.
Details
10
4 77 A strange sound escaped me, an incredible laugh.
Details
10
4 104 In that brief moment, in the tiny pool of blood I held, I saw not myself but a strange face, like a globe of gold with disklike eyes, a face like none I had ever seen, a face that struck an eerie terror into my heart.

10
6 30 There were many things supposedly strange about Tharna, among them that she was reportedly ruled by a queen, or Tatrix, and, reasonably enough in the circumstances, that the position of women in that city, in contrast with common Gorean custom, was one of privilege and opportunity.
Details
10
6 109 As he eats and drinks with gusto on this occasion of his triumph, she regards him furtively, with a strange mixture of fear and pleasure.
Details
10
9 79 I must have seemed strange to them, a scarlet-clad warrior, bearing weapons, suddenly entering, a man from another city unexpectedly in their midst.
Details
10
12 135 "You are strange, too," she said, "like Andreas of Tor".
Details
10
13 11 "Strange," said he, "usually the Tatrix does not attend the Amusements of Tharna".
Details
10
13 40 Then, to my astonishment, the men of Tharna who were yoked in the arena, kneeling, rejected by their city, condemned, chanted a strange paean.
Details
10
14 42 I know this sounds strange, but I believe some animals have pride, and if any did, I knew that this monster was one of them.
Details
10
14 134 It did not take long for them to understand that the tarn, for whatever strange reason, was not going to attack me, and, whatever they considered my chances, it took only a moment longer to determine that it was my intention to free the bird.

18 65 And, too, they told of the strange, new things that happened in the mine at the bottom of the central shaft, how men helped one another, and could find the time and will to remember a tune.

10
19 96 And it seemed strange to me that this rebellion, this willingness to pursue the right as they saw it, independently of the will of the Priest-Kings, had come not first from the proud Warriors of Gor, nor the Scribes, nor the Builders nor Physicians, nor any of the high castes of the many cities of G...
Details
10
20 46 I wondered too at her treachery, her strange hatred of me, for somehow it seemed not to fit well with the lonely girl on the ledge, who had stood quietly gazing at the field of talenders while a warrior had gorged himself on the kill of his tarn.
Details
10
20 100 When we had reached an altitude of perhaps a hundred yards from the ground, as suddenly as it had come, the strange effect passed.
Details
10
21 264 Strange and cruel are the ways of Gor, I thought, where six small green stones, weighing perhaps scarcely two ounces, and a damaged helmet, could purchase a human being.
Details
10
22 73 "Why would you not keep me for your own?" It was a bold question, strange to come from this girl, once Tatrix of Tharna.

10
22 144 And then, in the slaver's tent, Lara, who had been Tatrix of Tharna, told me something of the strange history of her city.

10
26 9 They have taken from me my father and the girl I love, and my friends, and have given me suffering and hardship, and peril, and yet I feel that in some strange way in spite of myself I have served them—that it was their will that I came to Tharna.
Details
10
26 38 The sound of caravan bells is no longer strange in Tharna and strings of traders have found their way to her gates, to exploit this most surprising of all markets.
Details
10
26 73 It was not her intention to condemn her sisters of Tharna into interminable and miserable bondage but to force them to take this strange first step on the road she herself had traveled, one of the unusual roads that may lead to love.

Book 3. (38 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

1 53 Torm had stumbled into more than one well in his life and no one who knew him would think it strange to find him sputtering about at the bottom of one.
Details
10
3 79 It seemed a strange name for a Priest-King.
Details

10
5 143 "Yes," she continued, "I, armed with my beauty, would come to the Sardar and wrest the riches and power of the Priest-Kings from them, for men had always sought to serve me, to give me what I wanted, and were the Priest-Kings not men?" People had strange reasons for entering the Sardar, but the reas...

10
13 96 Indeed, even I myself, after my experience of the arthropod on the platform and the flat, sluglike beast on its transportation disk in the plaza, was growing accustomed to finding strange creatures in the Nest of the Priest-Kings.
Details
10
14 46 "Strange," said one of the slaves.
Details
10
15 102 "It is very strange to me," I said.
Details
10
16 13 I turned in rage on the tall, gentle creature who stood, unmoving, behind that strange table and that still form of the young Priest-King.
Details
10
18 112 He moved his forelegs in a strange parallel pattern, touching himself with each leg at three places on the thorax and one behind the eyes.
Details
10
20 121 She now saw herself in a strange garment.
Details
10
20 193 And yet it was not a strange thing, particularly not on Gor, where bravery is highly esteemed and to save a female's life is in effect to win title to it, for it is the option of a Gorean male to enslave any woman whose life he has saved, a right which is seldom denied even by the citizens of the gi...

10
21 43 Then, as we crouched in the darkness of the far side of the chamber, the doors opposite us swung open and we observed two long lines of strange men, marching abreast, each of whom carried a Mul-Torch in one hand and in the other by a handle what resembled a deflated wineskin of golden leather.
Details
10
21 50 Most strange perhaps was the shape and width of the eyes, for they were very large, perhaps three inches in width, and were round and dark and shining, much like the eyes of a nocturnal animal.
Details
10
21 54 Then to my amazement, one by one, the strange creatures, disdaining the bars near the door began simply to pad up the almost vertical walls to the Priest-Kings and then, astonishingly, began to walk upside down on the ceiling.
Details
10
21 59 The strange procession to and fro up the walls and across the ceiling to Priest-Kings and back down to the floor continued for more than an hour, during which time the Muls who stood below, some of them having returned with a full vessel, never ceased to chant their mournful paean.
Details
10
22 138 "Even to those who carried Gur?" asked Mul-Ba-Ta, shivering at the thought of those small round bodies and the strange arms and legs, and eyes.
Details
10
23 55 And how was it, I asked myself, that the Golden Beetle had not already feasted on the delicate flesh of the proud beauty of Treve? And I wondered on the five strange protuberances that nested so grotesquely in her lovely body.
Details
10
24 58 And yet it seemed strange to me to think of the Beetle as pursuing its prey in these tunnels for hours, perhaps days.
Details
10
25 13 I thought for a moment I might clean it on the golden strands of the Beetle's strange mane but I discovered these were wet with foul, glutinous exudate, the source of that unpleasant, narcotic odor which still permeated the passageway.
Details
10
25 122 As I gazed on this strange assemblage of creatures in the tiered cases it seemed clear to me that I must be gazing upon one of the vivaria of which I had heard Sarm speak.
Details
10
25 141 As she gazed upon me her eyes held a strange light which I did not understand.
Details
10
26 239
Details
10
26 258 I wondered at the things she said to me for they seemed strange, perhaps more so to my ears than they would have to one bred and raised from infancy as a Gorean, one as much accustomed to the submission of women as to the tides of gleaming Thassa or the phases of the three moons.
Details
10
26 267 Yes, I said to myself, the words Vika spoke were perhaps not as strange as I had thought.
Details
10
26 293 She was a strange girl.
Details
10
27 294 It was strange to me to hear her speak of the powerful, golden creature Misk in such a way.
Details
10
27 339 "Strange is your kind," she said.
Details
10
28 21 I had not even seen him to this moment so intent had I been on the strange procession above me.
Details
10
28 63 And so it was a strange procession that followed the transportation disk, now happily piloted by Al-Ka, down the tunnel to the Vivarium.
Details
10
28 242 When we had constructed the ship we felt that now we had what might prove to be, in this strange subterranean war, the decisive weapon.
Details
10
29 168 A strange odor came to my nostrils before I could press the firing switch.
Details
10
32 159 Suddenly, through the rock dust, I could scent that strange narcotic odor.
Details
10
32 208 With one slow, strange bound I was at the door and threw the switch which was placed at the side of the door.
Details
10
33 2 It was a strange but rapid journey, and as we leaped chasms and seemed almost to swim in the cold air I told myself that Misk and his Priest-Kings and the humans that were engineers in the Nest were losing the battle that would decide whether men and Priest-Kings might, working together, save a worl...

33 42 There were men in that crowd from Ar, from Thentis, from Tharna, recognized by the two yellow cords in their belt; from Port Kar; from Tor, Cos, Tyros; perhaps from Treve, Vika's home city; perhaps even from fallen, vanished Ko-ro-ba; and the men in that crowd were of all castes, and even of castes ...

Book 4. (20 results) Nomads of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
2 2 In the long years that had passed since first I had come to the Counter-Earth I had seen many things, and had known loves, and had found adventures and perils and wonders, but I asked myself if anything I had done was as unreasoning, as foolish as this, as strange.
Details
10
2 22 I recalled a windy night in the shadow of the Sardar when we had spoken of strange things, and I had left him and come down the hill, and had asked the leader of those with whom I had traveled the way to the Land of the Wagon Peoples.
Details
10
5 22 Kamchak saw that I had noticed the girl and chuckled, sensing that I might find it strange, seeing a slave so among the wagons.
Details
10
6 158 "It is strange," said Kamchak.
Details
10
7 92 With him had been a tall, strange man, broad of shoulder with large hands, a grayish face, eyes almost like glass.
Details
10
7 112 Elizabeth faced the tall, strange man.
Details
10
7 117 Looking at him she suddenly had the feeling, a strange one, that this man, in some circumstances and for some purpose or another, had assessed and judged many women.
Details
10
7 126 She did not take her eyes from the tall, strange man.
Details
10
7 133 Then, after some hours stumbling confused, terrified, hungry through the high, brown grass, she had seen two riders, mounted on swift, strange beasts.
Details
10
7 205 Yet it seemed strange that anyone, no matter who, would dare to use the name of Priest-Kings falsely.
Details
10
7 253 Perhaps in that moment Elizabeth Cardwell recalled the strange man, so fearsome, gray of face with eyes like glass, who had so examined her on Earth, before whom she had stood as though on a block, unknowingly being examined for her fitness to bear the message collar of Turia.
Details
10
10 169 He even reeled about roaring as though he were drunk and slapped the wheel of a neighbor's wagon for a minute or two until his laughter turned into spasmodic gasps and, making strange noises, he wheezingly fought to get a mouthful or two of air under his shaking ribs.
Details
10
11 180 It seemed strange to think of her, so wild and insolent, arrogant on the back of her kaiila, now a perfumed, silken slave of Turians.
Details
10
19 15 "You are aware, of course," I mentioned, "that the Pleasure Gardens of so rich a man as Saphrar of Turia may contain a large number of female slaves—not all of whom might be trusted to keep silent—and some of whom will undoubtedly notice something as unusual as two strange warriors wan...
Details
10
21 29 My heart felt grateful to the stern, fierce warrior, though he had been in the past days harsh and strange, half drunk with hatred for Turia.
Details
10
21 209 It had seemed strange to me that Kamchak, the resolute, implacable Kamchak of the Tuchuks, had so soon surrendered his assault on the city—not that I expected it would have been, if prolonged, successful.
Details
10
24 140 "It is strange," I said, "I did not even know of the wagon".
Details
10
25 761 "It is strange," I said, "that when the full blood of a man is upon him, and he sees his female, and he will have her, that it should be then that he is not a true man".
Details
10
25 866 "It is strange," she said.
Details
10
27 47 It seemed to me a strange act for a conqueror, for a Tuchuk.
