MANHUNTERS Of SCORPIO

Dray Prescot, Earthman on the planet Kregen of Antares... was he to remain a prince of proud Vallia or just one more human victim of the hunters and manhounds of the mysterious Southern Continent?

For that was the enigmatic fate that the Star Lords had suddenly confronted him with.  They wanted someone freed from the terrified pack of human prey among which Prescot found himself.  But who it was and how it was to be done, they left to him.

In unknown Havilfar, there were other mysteries to be solved and other discoveries to be made - and Prescot knew there could be no return to his princess and his newly won homeland until he had done the bidding of his all-powerful tormenters.

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?

FUGITIVE OF SCORPIO

Dray Prescot, the Earthman who had been brought across interstellar space as the tool of the mysterious Star Lords, confronted his most baffling task while a hunted and harried wanderer on the continent of Havilfar.

That task was to discover the means by which the aircraft of that continent's most advanced civilization operated.

Prescot was no scientist, for he was a fighting man from the days before the Twentieth Century.  But fulfill his task he must - or he would never return to the princess and homeland he had won.  For Prescot therefore there was but one course - with a whole continent against him, with time itself conspiring to balk him, the secrets of an unknown science must be made his!

CHAMPION OF SCORPIO

The problem with being a spy is that you have to make friends with the enemy to learn anything.  And Dray Prescot, Earthman who had become prince of Vallia, was the kind of man who always stood by his friends.  So in his quest to learn the war secrets of Hamel, empire of the aircraft-makers, Dray found himself not only becoming blade-comrade to some of its greatest warriors but of championing the very life of its cruelly beautiful queen.

And though Dray's devotion to his glorious Vallian princess never flagged, his mission - and his life was perilously balanced upon the razor-edged blades of loyalty versus duty. 
One of the myriad readers writes: "During the years that I have been reading science fiction, I do not believe that I have ever come across a more entertaining, fast-moving series than your Dray Prescot of Antares.  I've read the John Carter novels, the Gorean series, the Lensman series... all of these made good reading but I believe Akers has done the finest job to date.  He has created an almost believable culture and all that goes with it."

SEA WOLVES Of SCORPIO

For a brief but wonderful moment it seemed as if Dray Prescot was on the road to victory - for he was aboard a Vallian ship bound for home with the secret of Vallia's enemies in his possession.  But Dray, the Earthman sent to the planet Kregen of the double-star Antares in Scorpio, had not fulfilled the mission of the unseen Star Lords - and until he did, there could be no escape from peril!

And peril came - in the form of hideous sea raiders, in the sharp edges of the dueling blades of a swordsman enemy, and in the horrid rites of the underground cult of the Silver Leem.  Dray Prescot's saga has been acclaimed as the best planetary adventure series since Burroughs stopped writing about Barsoom - and a legion of devoted readers will find that Avenger of Antares holds high the standard.

KREGEN!

That marvelous world circling the double-star Antares in the Constellation Scorpio has been the scene of many an exciting event as its myriad human and non-human races struggle between each other for ascendancy.  But for Dray Prescot, Earthman and Prince of Vallia, all of the electrifying aspects of his adventurous life on Kregen were to climax when the armies of Havilfar made their move toward his adopted homeland before he had fully solved the secret of their mysterious air fleets.

ARMADA OF ANTARES is the culmination of all his experiences - a peril-pitched novel, complete in itself, of an alien world stirred up to a life-or-death frenzy!

"Burroughs fans should indeed find something in Akers to relate to." - Bill Williams, Mostly About Books.
