What's The Worst That Could Happen?
1966’s Tarnsman of Gor is the first volume in John Norman’s Gor sword and planet novels.
Mediocre Oxford graduate Tarl Cabot successfully exaggerates his academic prowess to the gullible Americans. Result: a teaching position at a minor liberal college in New Hampshire. As long as Tarl can swot up course material faster than he has to teach it, his position should be secure. The potential for zany academic adventures, perhaps involving lascivious young co-eds, is obvious.
Also, completely irrelevant to the actual plot of this book.
