If I could win my own daughter's affection, if I could sheathe those Deadly Talons - wouldn't that be a thing to tell Delia?

PRESCOT OF ANTARES


To finish the job of destroying the hideous cult of the Leem was just one of the problems confronting Dray Prescot, Earthman on Antares' wonder planet.  For he had also to rally all the world's forces to combat the onslaught that was on its way from the unexplored Southern Hemisphere.

While rescuing kidnapped children from the altars of sacrifice, Dray found himself fighting side by side with his own worst enemy, his renegade daughter, Ros the Claw, who had pledged his death.  Caught in the talons of fate, he would first have to unravel that vicious web or be torn asunder by monstrous adversity.

The greatest other-world adventure series since Edgar Rice Burroughs stopped writing!

  • 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.
