DRAY PRESCOT


The marvelous adventures of Dray Prescot on Kregen, the world of wonders that orbits the twin suns of Antares in Scorpio, have become a science fiction saga to rival and perhaps surpass the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs and others of the heroic fantasy band.

This lone Earthman, once a pawn of cosmic powers, now enters a new cycle of his fabulous career as he rallies the warriors of Vallia for a final stand against the foes that have encircled them - and then, in an act of true Prescot bravado, undertakes single-handed to rescue three old friends from slavery in a distant land.

The beasts of Antares are many and terrifying, but Prescot does not belong to the faint-hearted.  He will need every ounce of courage this time!  So gird on your imaginative swords and join him!

DRAY PRESCOT


Lone Earthman on the vivid and intricate world of double-sunned Antares in Scorpio, Dray Prescot had been the pawn of the unseen Star Lords who had seeded that planet with the offspring of a hundred alien races.  But at last Prescot had come in sight of the goal which he shared with these space masters - the overthrow of slavers and their evil empires.

On the island kingdom of Hyrklana, his course now seemed clear.  Overthrow its decadent queen, lead rebellion against the cruel Arena, and free the princess who was its rightful ruler.  It was a hard task, but for Dray Prescot, against whom sorcerers and swordsmen had contended, it was the only course he could follow.  Though it might this time lead to his death, there could be no turning back....

The adventures of Dray Prescot stand equal to the works of John Norman, Robert E. Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs for sheer fast-paced high adventure.

DRAY PRESCOT


For too long the iron legions of the evil empress of Hamal had devastated the neighboring lands and islands of Kregen.  Under the twin suns of Antares, that planet of marvels had been made a scene of carnage, rapine, and death.

Dray Prescot, Earthman transported to Kregen, had battled her all the way - and at long last found himself nearing the showdown of his long campaign for his new homeland.

Gathering about himself old allies and former enemies, Dray prepared to challenge the empress at the very doors of her capital city.  Until he discovered that she was about to spring her secret weapon - the super-science of the mad wizard of Loh.

DRAY PRESCOT


Beneath the two suns of Antares, the planet Kregen was truly the wonder of the universe.  For there, at the inscrutable planning of unseen powers, had been gathered members of the great races of the galaxy, set down among Kregen's lands to become part of the wonderful semi-civilized cities and kingdoms of that world.

There, too, were natural humans and their strivings and ambitions colored and led the struggle to create a world of peace.  Dray Prescot, Earthman, had been brought there as an agent of the Star Lords, buy he had made himself into a rallying point of strength in Kregen's colorful history.

Now, when the worst war between the humanoid lands had finally concluded, Prescot again confronts the Star Lords, only to learn that the hard-won peace was just a transition to a great hemispheric invasion that was even then raiding over the horizon.
