SLAVE OF THE
COLOSSUS BUILDERS
OR SCOURGE OF
THE INLAND SEA?


Both roles awaited Dray Prescot on his return to Kregen.  Torn between two contending forces, the Star Lords and the Savanti, Prescot himself wanted only to find his beloved, the Princess Delia of the Blue Mountains.  But the powers that had drawn him across interstellar space to the world that orbited the two suns of the brightest star in the Constellation Scorpio had set him a task, the nature of which even he could not fully estimate.

Here is an adventure-packed, full-bodied novel of danger and daring on a planet that is fully the equal of Burroughs' Barsoom and Norman's Gor - and that has already established a new high for interplanetary sagas.

  • 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.
