Welcome to Litsy!

(1976) Thirteenth in Kenneth Bulmer's sword-and-planet series featuring Dray Prescot, an eighteenth-century adventurer transported to the planet Kregen. In this one, Prescot is disgraced and far from home, disguised as an officer of the enemy's army. The series is prone to episodic, Mary-Sue-ish narratives, so this volume is one of my favorites: its plot is more coherent than usual, and Prescot faces significant loss.

This book is a lot of fun! I‘m trying to go through the maps in order, but I couldn‘t resist peeking to see if some of my favourite fictional places made it in. Weatherfield (of CORONATION STREET fame) was a given, since the atlas‘s creators are British and they state up front that they focused on English-language works for accessibility‘s sake, but I was super delighted to find Nuevo Toledo (from CLUB DE CUERVOS) in Fictional Mexico.

This week‘s library haul features three books from my Litsy stack, a memoir, and an X-Men trade I borrowed a couple months back and had to return unread because I hadn‘t read X OF SWORDS yet. Now nothing stands between me and it!

Oh @Soubhiville this is all so very very beautiful ♥️♥️♥️♥️. Thank you so very much. Mel was so happy to see Gotham and Cabot Cove on the cover map! 🤣

(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.
