Once again in the grip of the Star Lords of the Constellation Scorpio, Dray Prescot finds himself torn from the battles of the Inner Sea for a mission in the air. For it was now his mission to carry his beloved Delia by airboat to that far kingdom, Vallia, from whence she had come. But the route lay across the gaunt mountains and the shadowy jungles of the Hostile Territories -- and there Dray was to be plunged among stranger peoples and more fantastic challenges than even his Kregen princess had known.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dray meets Seg! But the rest of the book is slow., June 9, 2000

This is the 3rd book of a 53 book series. The first is Transit to Scorpio. This book IS currently in print by Savanti Press. My detailed rating is 4.0. Dray meets his lifelong buddy Seg in this book. Delia has found Dray on the Inner Sea, and now they are proceeding toward Vallia. Boy, traveling on Kregen is hard! If it's not swifters, then it's impiters or Queens of Pain slowing you down! (Those queens are kinda cute, though!) As the conversations are the best part of the series, the conversations between Dray and Seg are the best of that. And some of those happen in this book. The author "loses" a tape - and part of the story - in this book again. It is an irritating technique to speed up the storyline (not used after book 4). If you need help finding books from this series, please contact me.

This is the third book in the sword adventure series by Ken Bulmer writing as Alan Burt Akers. This book is an adventure to adventure romp through the lost lands of the continent of Turismond on the planet Kregen. Dray Prescot accompanied by his love, Delia of the Blue Mountains, her maid, Thelda, and his Bowman of Loh companion Seg Segutorio venture through lands last known to the almost mythical Empire of Walfarg. Using their wits and weapon skills they must travel through to the coast lands to find passage to Delia's homeland the Empire of Vallia. They encounter wild flying beasts partially tamed and flown by beastmen and numerous other obastacles. We find that Dray Prescot is the consumate champion, Delia the exquisite female companion, Thelda the bungling, bubbly servant and Seg the steady indegatigable true friend. This book is reprinted with Transit to Scorpio, Suns of Scorpio, Swordships of Scorpio and Prince of Scorpio in the omnibus, The Saga of Dray Prescot: The Delian Cycle by Kenneth Bulmer written by Alan Burt Akers and available at Amazon.com in softback and Hardback. This is must have.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a thinking book., April 14, 2000

This review is from: Warrior of Scorpio (Paperback)

This is the 3rd in the sags of Prescot of Antares. It is about a warrior that is in the grip of the Star Lords. And they send him on mission after mission. He goes through mountains, jungles, and fantasic challenges. And has the love of Delia to keep him going. In the hope that some day he will be let lose from the Star Lords.

The writing is very good. The story is original. But the book is hard to read. You don't fall in love with the hero. Or any of the other people. So when you come to a point of danger, you really don't care. To understand this book you need to read the first two.
