4.0 out of 5 stars Channeling Burroughs, March 23, 2011

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.

This review is from: The Suns of Scorpio (Paperback)
This is the second book in the Delian cycle of the adventures of Dray Prescot on the planet Kregen. At the cold and powerful behest of the Star Lords he is transported to Eye of the World on the continent of Turismond. Here he battles mosters, humans and beast men(Diffs)started with nothing, but accumulating a number of weapons. The Eye of the World is place of conflict between the Zairians and the Grodnims, ziggurat builders. Much of the action is sea based on galleys with the accompanying raids by either side. In many ways they represent the eternal battle in the sky between the green sun and red sun of Antares. This is rollicking sword whirling action packed adventure to adventure written by Ken Bulmer as Alan Burt Akers. This book is currently available in computer formats and has been reprinted into an omnibus format as The Saga of Dray Prescot: The Delian Cycle. These five books are included, Transit to Scorpio, Suns of Scorpio, Warrior of Scorpio, Swordships of Scorpio and Prince of Vallia. This is the first five novels in the Dray Prescot series and is available from Amazon. This is the most compelling Sword Adventure series I have read.
