Armada of Antares
Armada of Antares: Dray Prescot #11 | Alan Burt Akers
1 post | 1 read
Kregen! That marvelous world circling the double-star Antares in the Constellation Scorpio has been the scene of many an exciting event as its myriad human and non-human races struggle with each other for ascendency. But for Dray Prescot, Earthman and Prince of Vallia, all of the electrifying aspects of his adventurous life on Kregen were to climax when the armies of Havilfar made their move toward his adopted homeland before he had fully solved the secret of their mysterious air fleets Armada of Antares is the culmination of all his experiences on Kregen so far -- a peril-pitched novel, complete in itself, of an alien world stirred up to a life-or-death frenzy.

(1976) Eleventh in Kenneth Bulmer's John-Carter-ish "Dray Prescot" series, chronicling the adventures of an 18th-century seaman on the distant planet Kregen. This one wraps a subseries, in which Prescot defends his adopted homeland against an aggressor commanding a fleet of airships. (I will not tell you whether he wins, but there are about forty more volumes, so ....) My affection for this series is largely nostalgic, but it is strong.
