NEW TITLE: Renegade of Kregen

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

After a long wait, the thirteenth title in the long-running saga of Dray Prescot, of Earth and of Kregen, is now available. Renegade of Kregen by Alan Burt Akers continues the “Krozair Cycle” begun in Book 12, The Tides of Kregen. It will be available from all good eBookstores over the next few days, but it is already available at Mobipocket.com and at Cyberread.com.

Here is the blurb:

Never before in his adventurous career under the double suns of Antares had Dray Prescot been in as desperate a situation as he found himself on his second entry into the city of Magdag. Magdag had been the scene of one of Prescot’s earliest experiences on Kregen and he recalled it with loathing as a city of power-lusting slavers, of decadent worshippers of the Green Sun. As one who had been initiated into the chivalric order of Krozairs, he despised all that that city stood for. But now Prescot was an outcast. Any Krozair, any follower of the Red Sun of his former friends, would slay him on sight. For him there was only one way to recover his home, his children, his self-respect. He would have to perform an act of valor so extreme, so fabulous, that its glory would wash away all that now stained his name. Only by reaching to the very heart of mighty Magdag could he hope to achieve such a suicidal triumph.

More good news about Alan Burt Akers’ Dray Prescot books…

We have concluded an agreement with Kenneth Bulmer’s agent, Pamela Buckmaster, to publish omnibus editions of the first 18 Kregen novels. The current plan is to publish the following books:

The Saga of Dray Prescot: The Delian Cycle

The Saga of Dray Prescot: The Havilfar Cycle I

The Saga of Dray Prescot: The Havilfar Cycle II

The Saga of Dray Prescot: The Krozair Cycle

The Saga of Dray Prescot: The Vallian Cycle

This will take us up to book 18, and if they are reasonably successful we will consider publishing the remainder of the series in paperback also. Also, if there is enough interest and demand, we may be able to publish hardback editions, too. We expect the books to be available during April and May.

More titles from Alan Burt Akers

A lot has been happening behind the scenes over the last few weeks, and I am pleased to announce that we have concluded an agreement with Kenneth Bulmer’s estate to publish the remainder of the Dray Prescot novels as eBooks.
