FUGITIVE OF SCORPIO


Dray Prescot, the Earthman who had been brought across interstellar space as the tool of the mysterious Star Lords, confronted his most baffling task while a hunted and harried wanderer on the continent of Havilfar.

That task was to discover the means by which the aircraft of that continent's most advanced civilization operated.

Prescot was no scientist, for he was a fighting man from the days before the Twentieth Century.  But fulfill his task he must - or he would never return to the princess and homeland he had won.  For Prescot therefore there was but one course - with a whole continent against him, with time itself conspiring to balk him, the secrets of an unknown science must be made his!

  • 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.
