Transit to Scorpio
Transit to Scorpio: Dray Prescot 1 | Alan Burt Akers
1 post | 1 to read
On the planet Kregen that circles Antares, the brightest star of the Constellation of the Scorpion, two forces contend for the world's destiny. One of them, the Savanti, called in a human pawn from far-away Earth. His name is Dray Prescot, and only the Savanti know his role. Dray Prescot confronts a fabulous world -- barbaric, unmapped, peopled with both human and non-human races. But the Star Lords always watch and check the Savanti's plans. And it soon turns out that Dray Prescot himself has to make a decision that will change him from a mere pawn to a bolder piece on the planetary chessboard... Dray Prescot's saga has been aclaimed as the best planetary adventure series since Burroughs stopped writing about Barsoom. Transit to Scorpio is the first book in the epic fifty-two book saga of Dray Prescot of Earth and of Kregen by Kenneth Bulmer writing as Alan Burt Akers. The next book in the series is The Suns of Scorpio.

#20Series20Days Day 17: Dray Prescot

*Respect* to ERB who launched the genre with John Carter, but for my canon the indispensable swords-and-planet series is Dray Prescot, the tale of a 17th-C. adventurer transported mystically to the planet Kregen. The world is rich and well-developed, and events in one book have consequences in following books. It's often cheesy and full of itself, but together with Dumarest, Dray Prescot got me through college
