PRESCOT
OF ANTARES


On the planet Kregen that circled the brightest star of the Constellation of the Scorpion, two forces contended for that world's destiny.  One of them, the Savanti, called in a human pawn from far-away Earth.

His name: Dray Prescot.

His role: Only the Savanti knew.

Dray Prescot confronted a fabulous world - barbaric, unmapped, peopled with both human and inhuman races.  But there were always the mysterious Star Lords to watch and check the Savanti's plans.  And it soon turned out that Dray Prescot himself had to make such decisions as would change him from a mere pawn to a bolder piece on that planetary chessboard.

Those who thrill to Burroughs' Barsoom and are enthralled by Norman's Gor will find Prescot's Kregen irresistible!

SLAVES OF ANTARES


Slave of the colossus builders or scourge of the Inland Sea?  Both roles awaited Dray Prescot on his return to Kregen.  Torn between two contending forces, the Star Lords and the Savanti, Prescot himself wanted only to find his beloved, the Princess Delia of the Blue Mountains.  But the powers that had drawn him across interstellar space to the world that orbited the two suns of the brightest star in the Constellation Scorpio had set him a task, the nature of which even he could not fully estimate.

Here is an adventure-packed, full-bodied novel of danger and daring on a planet that is fully the equal of Burroughs' Barsoom and Norman's Gor - and that has already established a new high for interplanetary sagas.

IN THE HOSTILE
TERRITORIES OF KREGEN


Once again in the grip of the Star Lords of the Constellation Scorpio, Dray Prescot found himself torn from the battles of the Inner Sea for a mission in the air.  For it was now his duty to carry his bethrothed Delia by airboat to that far kingdom from whence she had come.  But the route lay across the gaunt mountains and shadowy jungles of the Hostile Territories - and there Dray was to be plunged among stranger peoples and more fantastic challenges than even his Kregen princess had known.

The saga of Dray Prescot, comparable only to those of Cabot of Gor and Carter of Barsoom, continues in this thrill-packed fully detailed adventure novel of the marvel lands of the planet Kregen of Antares.

What does a man do when fate makes him the protector of the royal head of the and of his enemies?  If it is Dray Prescot, Earthman on Antares, he sets aside his quest to do his duty.

His quest was to reach Vallia and his princess and help her claim her throne.  His duty was to defend Vallia's ancient foe and place its rightful heir on its throne - sworn to attack Vallia.

So when the third force, the pirate fleets known as the swordships came between the two contending demands, Dray saw that only by following his own personal star could the contradiction be resolved.

In SWORDSHIPS OF SCORPIO, Alan Burt Akers reveals his command of the planetary adventure field.

DELIA-OR DEATH!


Dray Prescot hod fought long and hard through perilous lands to claim the hand of the heiress of mighty Vallia.  Yet, when finally he set foot in that long-sought empire, it was not as hero or noble... it was as on unknown, a mendicant, and finally as a condemned slave.  For the combatant fates that had interfered continually with his quest on the planet of the twin suns of Antares had yet more tests for the man they had selected as their agent.  But for Dray there could be but one goal - already in sight - and he would not be turned aside any longer no matter what dangers Vallian intrigues and quasi-human mysteries might have in store for him.

This, the fifth novel of Alan Burt Akers' enthusiastically acclaimed series, is fully illustrated and contains a special bonus in the form of maps and a glossary.
