The Krozair Cycle, the third omnibus of “The Saga of Dray Prescot”, by Kenneth Bulmer writing as Alan Burt Akers, is now published in ebook format.

eBook formats include Kindle, Sony Reader, PDF, eReader, Mobipocket, Rocket eBook, Microsoft Reader, and others, and can be obtained from all good ebook stores, including Fictionwise, eBooks.com, Scribd, Wowio Sony Connect, and on Amazon.com for the Kindle.

The Krozair Cycle omnibus contains the short story “Wizard of Scorpio”, and the three books, The Tides of Kregen, Renegade of Kregen and Krozair of Kregen.

Here is the “back cover copy”:

With this volume of his saga, Dray Prescot is hurled afresh into brand-new adventures on the planet of Kregen, that grim and beautiful, marvelous and terrible world four hundred light-years away beneath the red and green fires of Antares, under the Suns of Scorpio.

Kregen is a world too rich in passion and action to allow a fighting man like Dray Prescot to rest for long. Once more, then, he is launched into fresh adventures, but this time there is a hiatus which might easily break a man of lesser fire and spirit than Dray Prescot, Krozair of Zy.

Here is the blurb:

Four hundred light years from Earth, Kregen is a marvelous world, peopled by wonderful beings, filled with light and clamor and furor of life lived to the hilt. But Kregen has its darker side, where horror and terror batten on innocent people, where sorceries rend reason, where injustice denies light.

The Spikatur Cycle brings Prescot closer to the realization of many of his dreams. He is determined to do what he feels is laid upon him; but he finds it is not so easy, particularly when the Empress Delia and his comrades are determined to keep him out of trouble. But, he is Dray Prescot, Lord of Strombor and Krozair of Zy, and that canny old leem hunter will not be prevented from buckling up the brave old scarlet breechclout and with a sword in his fist hurtling off beneath the Moons of Kregen into fresh headlong adventure.

The back copy:

Four hundred light years from Earth, Kregen is a marvelous world, peopled by wonderful beings, filled with light and clamor and furor of life lived to the hilt. But Kregen has its darker side, where horror and terror batten on innocent people, where sorceries rend reason, where injustice denies light.

Here, in the unforgiving yet rewarding world of Kregen, struggling through disaster and triumph, Dray Prescot has made his home. He has acquired a number of titles and estates but now the people of the island empire of Vallia, which has been ripped into shreds by ambitious and mercenary invaders, have called on him to lead them to freedom as their emperor. Reluctant to accept the imperium, he shoulders the burden because, rightly or wrongly, he sees this as the lesser evil…

Gangs of Antares by Alan Burt Akers, being volume 45 of the saga of Dray Prescot of Earth and of Kregen, and the second book of the Balintol Cycle, is now available from Fictionwise and all other good ebookstores, such as eBooks.com, Mobipocket, Cyberread.com and for the Amazon Kindle.

Here is the blurb:

Lit by the ruby and emerald fires of Antares, the planet Kregen, four hundred light years away from Earth, is a world harsh yet beautiful, terrible yet alluring. There any man or woman may achieve what the heart desires if they plan and struggle and keep faith with their innate purpose. Kregen has its share of weaklings and the faint of heart; but their names are not writ large in the footnotes to the Sagas to be found under the Suns of Scorpio. Dray Prescot has adventured widely over Kregen both at the behest of the Star Lords and to further his own vision. Now he is in the subcontinent of Balintol, where strangeness unlike any that he has previously encountered awaits him.

Due to delays in receiving some of the manuscripts from Kenneth Bulmer’s agent, it has become necessary to revise the dates for publication of volumes 46 to 52 of the Dray Prescot books. Dates are now To Be Confirmed. I am hopeful that this situation will change very soon.

Publication of Intrigue of Antares [Dray Prescot #44] has gone ahead, but it will not now appear at Fictionwise until Monday, July 21 July 28.

Gangs of Antares [Dray Prescot #45] will also be published everywhere on Monday, July 28.

Intrigue of Antares by Alan Burt Akers is the rip-roaring new adventure for Dray Prescot on the planet Kregen, and is now available for the first time in the original English from all good ebookstores including Fictionwise, eBooks.com, Mobipocket, eReader, and Amazon Kindle. It is the first volume of the Balintol Cycle, and volume 44 of the saga of Dray Prescot.

Here is the blurb:

Reared in the harsh conditions of Nelson’s Navy, Dray Prescot failed to find success on Earth but has succeeded in winning fortune on Kregen. He is called the Emperor of Emperors, the Emperor of Paz, but he himself regards these titles as meaningless. Paz, a vast grouping of continents and islands, is inhabited by innumerable races and nations – so why should they band together under Prescot? The Star Lords themselves have chosen him for this heavy task, for he has the yrium, that particular charisma that binds other mortals to his service. Now, in this the first volume of the Balintol Cycle, the Star Lords have dispatched him to the town of Amintin in the continent of Balintol. Under the streaming mingled lights of the Suns of Scorpio, Dray Prescot must set forth on his new adventures…

Scorpio Triumph, being volume forty-three of the saga of Dray Prescot and the final volume of the Lohvian Cycle, by Alan Burt Akers, is now available from Fictionwise, eBooks.com, eReader.com, cyberread.com, Mobipocket and Amazon Kindle and all other good online ebookstores.

Previously only published in a German translation in 1993, this is the first time that fans of Dray Prescot have been able to read this book in the original English. This edition also contains a new glossary to the complete Lohvian Cycle compiled by Els Withers.

Here is the blurb:

Reared in the harsh conditions of Nelson’s navy, Dray Prescot has been transported to the exotic and barbaric, beautiful and cruel world of Kregen, four hundred light years from Earth, under the double star Antares, the twin Suns of Scorpio.

Paz, the hemisphere of Kregen where Prescot has adventured and succeeded, is threatened by the reiving Shanks from Schan, the other half of the planet. He has been pitchforked into the job of organizing the resistance, a so-called Emperor of Paz, and has managed – temporarily – to drive off the Shanks and their mentor, the mysterious Carazaar. Now he must concentrate on finding the rubies forming the Skantiklar. These have been scattered in seasons past, and if brought together will confer stupendous sorcerous power on the possessor of the Skantiklar.

Down in the continent of Loh expeditions have ventured below the City of Eternal Twilight into the Realm of the Drums in search of one of the rubies. A Wizard of Loh, Na-Si-Fantong, has been collecting the rubies, and it is believed he wants them for no good purposes. He has succeeded in obtaining a ruby and vanishes into the maze of tunnels under the city. Not really convinced of the importance of the Skantiklar, Prescot has to go in pursuit. Alone, he threads his way through the labyrinth, already feeling he will never catch Na-Si-Fantong…

Scorpio Triumph concludes the Lohvian Cycle of the saga of Dray Prescot. This edition contains a glossary to the Lohvian Cycle.
