PRESCOT Of ANTARES


Of all the honors that Dray Prescot, Earthman, had won during his fabulous adventures on Kregen, planet of Antares in Scorpio, none were valued by him more than his membership in the Order of the Krozairs of Zy.

The Krozairs were the highest order of chivalry on that turbulent planet, dedicated men, warriors of stern convictions and unflinching hearts.  And Prescot had been ordained a Krozair back at the dawn of his career.

Thus when the Krozairs in their hour of need called on all their far-flung members for aid, he should have come.  But he did not.  His return had been blocked by the anger of the mysterious Star Lords.

Before Prescot could achieve redemption, he had two armies opposed to him, two warring kingdoms naming him outlaw, and only the tides of the seven moons as a weapon.

"For sheer pageantry and character development, Akers far outshines any other writer writing this type of story...." - Jackson (Tenn.) Sun

  • 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.
