Quotes

Human life is sacred, diff and apim alike.  These were deluded people; yes, they had betrayed good folk to terrible fates; but vengeance for the sake of vengeance destroys him who so callously metes out retribution without thought of the deeper motivations.

DRAY PRESCOT


When you're down there's no place to go but up.  That's the way the brave think and if there is anyone on two worlds braver than Dray Prescot he has yet to appear.

Because Prescot, who had been a seaman and soldier on distant Earth, and now, on Golden Scorpio's fabulous planet, was claimant to the fallen throne of a conquered empire, would never give up.

Single-handed, if need be, he would be a deadly threat to the enemies of Vallia.  But as he set out on a liberation mission incomparable in the history of two worlds he knew he would never be alone.  There were always the mysterious Star Lords to watch and speculate upon his fate....

  • 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.
