SEA WOLVES Of SCORPIO


For a brief but wonderful moment it seemed as if Dray Prescot was on the road to victory - for he was aboard a Vallian ship bound for home with the secret of Vallia's enemies in his possession.  But Dray, the Earthman sent to the planet Kregen of the double-star Antares in Scorpio, had not fulfilled the mission of the unseen Star Lords - and until he did, there could be no escape from peril!

And peril came - in the form of hideous sea raiders, in the sharp edges of the dueling blades of a swordsman enemy, and in the horrid rites of the underground cult of the Silver Leem.  Dray Prescot's saga has been acclaimed as the best planetary adventure series since Burroughs stopped writing about Barsoom - and a legion of devoted readers will find that Avenger of Antares holds high the standard.

  • 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.
