The story is set during the reign of King Henry III and follows the adventures of a young man named Norman of Torn. Norman is the orphaned son of a nobleman who has been raised by a band of outlaws. He becomes a formidable swordsman and is known as the "Outlaw of Torn" due to his fierce reputation.The novel explores themes of identity, revenge, and honor as Norman of Torn navigates a complex web of loyalties, betrayals, and political intrigue in medieval England. He is a complex character who seeks to uncover the truth about his past while becoming embroiled in the conflicts of the time."The Outlaw of Torn" is unique among Burroughs' works because it is set in a historical rather than a fantastical or science fiction setting. It combines elements of adventure, romance, and swashbuckling action, making it an engaging read for fans of historical fiction and adventure novels.
