This came out about the same time as The Warlock in Spite of Himself and a couple other Daw books whose titles I have forgotten. And LeGuin's Rocannon's World etc. appeared around this time too, didn't it? They seem to have represented the last form planetary romance took for quite a long time, and from your review they could arguably all be termed Norton-influenced. Cherryh's Chanur books are more like space opera.
I think I had kind of a reading drought in the '80s, so if I missed some fabulous planetary romance, do let me know. The current resurgence of Mars stories seems to have come out of steampunk/cod-Victoriana interests, rather than from Norton.
