DRAY PRESCOT

The most popular game among the many peoples of Kregen, world of Antares, is one that strongly resembles chess, called Jikaida. Jikaida is a battle of wits and war-game pieces that suited well the tension-charged atmosphere that enveloped Dray Prescot. For reconquering Vallia was assuming the aspect of such a game - move versus countermove, horde against horde!

Then Dray Prescot found himself no longer in control of just a game - he had become a living chessman on a real-life board at the dreaded arena of Jikaida City. There every move was accompanied by bloodshed and behind every game might hang the fate of a city, an island, or even a nation!

Dray Prescot's popular saga of life under the suns of Scorpio is cosmic adventure on the scale of Edgar Rice Burroughs and John Norman.
