Fame and fortune may await the winners of the life-and-death game called Jikaida, but for Dray Prescot his triumphs seemed only to bring infamy and misfortune.

An Earthman transposed to the distant world that circles the twin suns of Antares, Prescot had to find a way out of his Jikaida City exile - for his homeland needed him in its hour of danger.

But it seemed that fate now would place him in an even more terrifying game - a treasure hunt played out in the illusion-webbed catacombs of a haunted valley where desperate men came to find fortunes at the risk of their followers' lives and their own sanity.

"For sheer pageantry and character development, Prescot 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.
