This review is from: The Suns of Scorpio (Paperback)

Dray Prescot is called to the planet Kregen once again for unknown purposes by the mysterious Star Lords. There he becomes involved in conflict between two religious groups that are committed to each other's destruction. As always, he pines for his beloved Delia.

Kenneth Bulmer (Alan Burt Akers's real name) writes a lively Edgar Rice Burroughs pastiche, though it tends to be rather unfocused. There are plenty of action-packed adventures, but it suffers from the lack of narrative drive. However, it's still a fun, quick read and Bulmer is good at world-building.
