Gangs of Antares

Dray PrescotDray Prescot, as described by one who has seen him here on this Earth, is a man above middle height with brown hair and level brown eyes, brooding and dominating, with enormously broad shoulders and powerful physique. There is about him an abrasive honesty and an indomitable courage. He moves like a savage hunting cat, silent and lethal. Reared in the harsh conditions of Nelson’s Navy he is a man who, relatively unsuccessful on Earth, is ideally suited to the new life to which he was called by the Star Lords. Lit by the ruby and emerald fires of Antares, the planet Kregen, four hundred light years away, is a world harsh yet beautiful, terrible yet alluring. There any man or woman may achieve what the heart desires if they plan and struggle and keep faith with their innate purpose. Kregen has its share of weaklings and the faint of heart; but their names are not writ large in the footnotes to the sagas to be found under the Suns of Scorpio. Prescot has adventured widely over Kregen both at the behest of the Star Lords and to further his own vision. Now he is in the subcontinent of Balintol where strangeness unlike any that he has previously encountered awaits him. These volumes are arranged to be read as individual books, and we are privileged to be afforded the opportunity of reading further of the adventures of Dray Prescot upon Kregen under the streaming mingled lights of the Suns of Scorpio.
