If you are prepared to hurl yourself into adventure, to face peril with a brave heart, to risk all, then the marvelous world of Kregen offers you everything you have ever dreamed. For Dray Prescot the challenges are enormous. His task is to unite the sub-continent of Balintol against the Shanks, but the megalomaniac striving for power of various factions looks set to send Balintol up in flames.Scourge of AntaresPrescot has uncovered some of the details of a plot by the cultists of the religion of Dokerty to turn ordinary men and women into receptacles for demons, who then destroy wantonly until the frail human body can no longer support the intolerable demonic forces. Now he has escaped from the Dokerty temple with a mysterious young woman, Veda. They are fleeing for their lives as the Suns of Scorpio descend into night...Challenge of AntaresBorn in 1775, Dray Prescot joined the Royal Navy as a boy when his father died from the sting of a scorpion, and his mother followed soon after. Life in Nelson's Navy, harsh, intolerant, formed and molded him. He has been consistently passed over for promotion, even though he has fought his way from the lower deck through the hawsehole to the quarterdeck. He considers himself a failure. Just recently he has been experiencing unsettling dreams...Wrath of AntaresThe rulers of the countries of Balintol, and the people trying to usurp them, appear to care only for their own ambitions. Having saved the Illusionist of Winlan and preserved the Wall that retains the demon monsters created by Khon the Mak's Dokerty priests, Prescot now realizes to his profound horror that the phantom of his wife Delia he saw buried by falling rock was no apparition...Includes a glossary of the entire Balintol cycle.

Dray Prescot
Dray PrescotIf you are prepared to hurl yourself into adventure, to face peril with a brave heart, to risk all, then the marvelous world of Kregen offers you everything you have ever dreamed. For Dray Prescot the challenges are enormous. Snatched up to Kregen, four hundred light years from Earth, by the giant Scorpion of the Star Lords, his task is to unite the sub-continent of Balintol to resist the reiving fish-headed Shanks from around the curve of the world. The trouble is — due to the megalomaniac striving for power of various factions within the countries of Balintol, the whole place looks set to go up in the flames of both Civil and Foreign Wars. Dray Prescot, as described by one who has seen him on this Earth, is a man above middle height with brown hair and level brown eyes, with enormously broad shoulders and superbly muscled physique. He moves like a savage hunting cat, silent and lethal. There is about him an abrasive honesty and an indomitable courage. Reared in the harsh conditions of Nelson’s Navy he is a man who considered himself a failure on Earth, but who has found himself and destiny upon the terrible and beautiful world of Kregen. He has uncovered some of the details of a plot by the cultists of the religion of Dokerty in the country of Caneldrin. They have successfully contrived to turn ordinary men and women into receptacles for demons, who then destroy wantonly until the frail human body can no longer support the intolerable demonic forces. This horrific power will be turned upon the other countries of the subcontinent when Dray Prescot has the task of uniting Balintol. Thoughts of Delia, Delia of Delphond, Delia of the Blue Mountains, sustain him in his darkest hours. Now he has escaped from the Dokerty temple with a mysterious young woman, Veda. They are fleeing for their lives as the Suns of Scorpio descend into night. Alan Burt Akers
