Now that you remind me, I remember how atrocious that 7th book was. Attempting to write from the female point of view was a HUGE mistake for John Norman (or John Frederick Lange, Jr), considering his vast "insights" into the female psyche.

I may go back now and try to re-read one of those later novels, just as soon as I can find a military-grade gas mask.
