About This Item

New York: Daw, 1972. 11 assorted volumes, 7" H - mass market paperbacks. Listed here using their series numbers, they include odd volumes from the Havilfar, Vallian and Spikatur cycles, plus two additional titles. 1. Transit to Scorpio - 190 pp, 1972 7th printing, ISBN 0879978201. "On the planet Kregen that circled the brightest star of the Constellation of the Scorpion, two forces contended for that world's destiny. One of them, the Savanti, called in a human pawn from far-away Earth. His name: Dray Prescot. His role: Only the Savanti knew." 6. Manhounds of Antares - 185 pp, 1974 1st printing, ISBN 451UY1124125. "Was Dray to remain a prince of proud Vallia or just one more human victim of the hunters and manounds 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." 8. Fliers of Antares - 207 pp, 1975 1st printing, ISBN 451UY1165125. "Prescot's task was to discover the means by which the aircraft of Havilfar operated. He 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." 9. Bladesman of Antares - 192 pp, 1975 1st printing, ISBN 451UY1188125. "The problem with being a spy is that you have to make friends with the enemy to learn anything. In his quest to learn the war secrets of Hamal, 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 his 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." 10. Avenger of Antares - 176 pp, 1975 1st printing, ISBN 451UY1208125. "Dray Prescot was aboard a Vallian ship bound for home with the secret of Vallia's enemies in his possession. But he had not fulfilled the mission of the unseen Star Lords - and until he did, there could be no escape from peril! And it 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." 15. Secret Scorpio - 207 pp, 1975 1st printing, ISBN 0879973447. "When a mysterious monster cult began to undermine the Vallian Empire and when his own beloved princess became a victim of those secret schemers, Prescot had to go into action. (This book) brings Prescot at long last into direct confrontation with the forces that had once dared make him their pawn." 16. Savage Scorpio - 191 pp, 1978 1st printing, ISBN 0879973722. "The Savanti were responsible for tearing Prescot away from Earth for their struggle against the Star Lords. And he had long sought the locale of his original landing because it would help solve the mystery of his transition. Now the time had come when the search must be completed without delay - for the father of his beloved Delia was a victim of assassins, and only the Savanti could undo the evil that could shatter all Dray held dear in his second planetary homeland." 23. Beasts of Antares - 206 pp, 1980 1st printing, ISBN 0879975555. "Prescott rallies the warriors of Vallia for a final stand against the foes that have encircled them - and then, in an act of true Prescot bravado, undertakes single-handed to rescue three old friends from slavery in a distant land. The beasts of Antares are many and terrifying, but Prescot does not belong to the faint-hearted." 24. Rebel of Antares - 191 pp, 1980 2nd printing, ISBN 0879975822. "At last Prescot had come in sight of the goal he shared with the Star Lords - the overthrow of slavers and their evil empires. On the island kingdom of Hyrklana, his course seemed clear. Overthrow its decadent queen, lead rebellion against the curel Arena, and free the princess who was its rightful ruler." 25. Legions of Antares - 192 pp, 1981 2nd printing, ISBN 0879976489. "For too long the iron legions of the evil empress of Hamal had devastated the neighboring lands and islands of Kregen. Prescot had battled her all the way - and at long last found himself nearing the showdown of his long campaign. Gathering about himself old allies and former enemies, he prepared to challenge the empress at the very doors of her capital city. Until he discovered that she was about to spring her secret weapon - the super-science of the mad wizard of Loh." 32. Seg the Bowman - 255 pp, 1984 2nd printing, ISBN 0879979658. "A novel of Dray Prescot's fighting comrade, Seg, the finest archer of two worlds. Single-handed, on an enemy island, Seg becomes knight-protector of the mysterious lady Milsi, and by her side, beats off frightful beasts and inhuman foemen intent on blocking her path to a rightful royal inheritaance." Interiors - First book has a previous owner's name in ink on the first page, the last book has a bookstore stamp and small number in ink on the first page, pages and inside of covers have light or moderate browning. Exteriors - seven books have a slight lean to the spine, four books have faint spine creases, Avenger of Antares has a small cigarette burned hole on the back cover - the burn effects the last four text pages, light edge wear, light browning to the rear covers, one or two corner creases, several books have slight crease at the hinge area, one book has some colour loss on top of the text block, one book has a very small sticker removal mark on the rear cover, one book has a faint liquid mark at the top corner of the front cover..
