Once again, Dray Prescot returns to Kregen as a tool--or weapon--of the Savanti or Star Lords. And once again, Akers provides a rollicking sword-and-sorcery adventure to tickle your fancy....well, at least those who enjoy pulp fantasy.

The requisite perils posed by man, beast, and hybrids confront Prescot as he finds himself taken prisoner of the Magdag Empire and made to work as a slave. A slight altercation with a Fristle (half man, half cat) sends him to be a slave rower on a galley. But fate and plans that seem a cross between Captain Blood and Ben Hur set him free, whereupon he joins the ranks of the Krozairs of Zy--a mystical brotherhood ala the Knights of St. John and other medieval orders. And that's only the beginning of his task.

So unfolds the heroics of Prescot under the twin suns of Kregen. For those that enjoy the imaginative efforts of ol' hack 'n slash, the Prescot series is for you.
