Masks of Scorpio

Masks of ScorpioMasks of Scorpio, chronicling the headlong adventures of Dray Prescot on that marvelous world of Kregen four hundred light years from Earth, is, like all the volumes of the saga, arranged to be read as a book in its own right. Dray Prescot is a man above middle height, with brown hair and eyes, brooding and dominating, an enigmatic man with enormously broad shoulders and superbly powerful physique who moves with the deadly grace of a savage hunting cat. The Star Lords, mortal but superhuman beings, have a grand design for Kregen and employ Prescot and his Khibil comrade Pompino to perform the derring-do sections of the plan. Often at cross-purposes with the Star Lords, Prescot is now wholeheartedly with them in their desire to stamp out the unholy cult of Lem the Silver Leem. Down in the island of Pandahem, Prescot, using the alias of Jak, has burned a temple or two, has rescued his wayward daughter, the Princess Dayra, Ros the Claw. They have seized the treasure of an army outfitting to invade Vallia. Always looking forward, Prescot must face this new relationship with Dayra. With the crew and mercenary marines of Pompino’s ship Tuscurs Maiden, they are sailing into fresh adventures under the streaming mingled radiance of the Suns of Scorpio. Alan Burt Akers
