Over all, dominating all plans for Lem the Silver Leem, ousting all my commitments to the Star Lords, dissipating the problems of Empire, the single most important fact of my life remained always and forever as a guiding light my devotion to Delia of Delphond, Delia of the Blue Mountains.

PRESCOT OF ANTARES

Triple trouble always dogged Dray Prescot just when he thought he had things under control. This time, involved with setting things right on the continent of Pandahem, the Star Lords yanked him away from his friends, and dumped him, weaponless, at the gates of the terrible temple of the Leem.

To rescue a girl sacrifice there was but the start, for next he had to help torch the temple and all the others like it, and finally take to the sea to confront the next wave of the fish-headed marauders from Kregen's Southern Hemisphere.

There's always lots more doing in Dray Prescot's adventures on the world of Antares in Scorpio, for this colorful series in the best thing of its kind since Burroughs stopped writing!
