Having heard that the Gor books get progressively more porny as they go, I thought I’d pick up one a little later down the line, one about a sex slave. I initially tried to read the first in the series, Tarnsman of Gor, which follows the series more or less main character Tarl Cabot, but I found I just couldn’t get through it, as it was so bogged down in boring details.

Popular among Atkinson’s works is The Jackson Brodie series, which began with Case Histories and features the ex-cop turned private investigator archetype, in this case named Jackson Brodie. English author Kate Atkinson had already established quite a reputation for herself before starting The Jackson Brodie series in the year 2004 her first novel, Behind the Scenes at the Museum that was published in the year 1997, won the Whitbread Book of the Year Award, and each of her publications since have been both bestsellers and critically acclaimed.
