FOR
DELIA-OR DEATH!


Dray Prescot hod fought long and hard through perilous lands to claim the hand of the heiress of mighty Vallia.  Yet, when finally he set foot in that long-sought empire, it was not as hero or noble... it was as on unknown, a mendicant, and finally as a condemned slave.  For the combatant fates that had interfered continually with his quest on the planet of the twin suns of Antares had yet more tests for the man they had selected as their agent.  But for Dray there could be but one goal - already in sight - and he would not be turned aside any longer no matter what dangers Vallian intrigues and quasi-human mysteries might have in store for him.

This, the fifth novel of Alan Burt Akers' enthusiastically acclaimed series, is fully illustrated and contains a special bonus in the form of maps and a glossary.

  • 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.
