GLADIATOR OF SCORPIO

Never a man to leave something half done, even when the powerful Star Lords commanded otherwise, the Earthman Dray Prescot knew his task on the mysterious continent of Havilfar was far from completed.

There were cruel conquerors to be overthrown, there was pursuit of the manhounds and their masters, and there was Delia, his princess.

Delia was coming - with an airfleet from Vallia - but before he could hope for help, there was to be the arena. Could he survive the life of a gladiator against the killers and monsters of a spoiled queen while the Star Lords waited for his mission to be resumed?
