PRESCOT
OF ANTARES


On the planet Kregen that circled the brightest star of the Constellation of the Scorpion, two forces contended for that world's destiny.  One of them, the Savanti, called in a human pawn from far-away Earth.

His name: Dray Prescot.

His role: Only the Savanti knew.

Dray Prescot confronted a fabulous world - barbaric, unmapped, peopled with both human and inhuman races.  But there were always the mysterious Star Lords to watch and check the Savanti's plans.  And it soon turned out that Dray Prescot himself had to make such decisions as would change him from a mere pawn to a bolder piece on that planetary chessboard.

Those who thrill to Burroughs' Barsoom and are enthralled by Norman's Gor will find Prescot's Kregen irresistible!

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
