Quotes

Vegetarianism is known and practiced on Kregen; but if a man is starving and a fat deer passes by - well, a man must live unless he wishes to surrender to the fate high ideals may bring.  It is an argument that continues.

PRESCOT
OF ANTARES


Somewhere in the unmapped regions of Kregen, beneath the two suns of Antares, alpha star of the Constellation Scorpio, lies the hidden city of the Savanti.  The Savanti were the ones responsible for tearing Dray Prescot away from his native Earth for their struggle against the Star Lords.

And Dray had long sought the locale of his original landing because it would help solve the mystery of his transition.  Now the time had come when the search must be completed without delay - for the father of his beloved Delia was a victim of assassins, and only the Savanti could undo the evil that could shatter all that Dray held dear in his second planetary homeland.

SAVAGE SCORPIO is the thrilling novel of a mission that would involve powerful forces far beyond all Prescot's personal desires.

  • 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.
