Product Description

For the first time ever, the books in the Saga of Dray
Prescot of Earth and of Kregen are being brought
together in omnibus editions.

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

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, Prescot 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.

A note on the Krozair Cycle

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.

Dray Prescot is a man of above medium height, with brown hair and brown
eyes that are level and dominating. His shoulders are immensely wide and
he
carries himself with an abrasive honesty and a fearless courage. He moves
like a
great hunting cat, quiet and deadly. Born in 1775 and educated in the
inhumanly
harsh conditions of the late eighteenth century English navy, he presents a
picture
of himself that, the more we learn of him, grows no less enigmatic.

Through the machinations of the Savanti nal Aphrasöe, mortal but
superhuman
men dedicated to the aid of humanity, and of the Star Lords, the Everoinye,
he has
been taken to Kregen many times. On that savage and exotic world he rose to
become
Zorcander of the clansmen of Segesthes, and Lord of Strombor in Zenicce.

Against all odds Prescot won his highest desire and in that immortal battle
at
The Dragon's Bones claimed his Delia, Delia of Delphond, Delia of the Blue
Mountains. And Delia claimed him in the face of her father, the dread
Emperor
of Vallia. Amid the rolling thunder of the acclamations of "Hai Jikai!"
Prescot became
Prince Majister of Vallia and wed his Delia, the Princess Majestrix. One
of
their favorite homes is Esser Rarioch in Valkanium, capital of the island
of Valka
of which Prescot is Strom.

Far to the west of Turismond, the western continent of this grouping of
continents
and islands called Paz, lies the inner sea, the Eye of the World. There
Prescot as a swifter captain became a member of the mystic and martial
Order of
Krozairs of Zy. He says he values his membership of the Krzy more highly
than
any other of his honors.

After a series of adventures on the continent of Havilfar, during which he
fought in the arena of the Jikhorkdun and became King of Djanduin, idolized
by
his ferocious four-armed Djangs, Prescot managed to stay alive to thwart
the
plans of the Empress Thyllis of Hamal. In the Battle of Jholaix, Hamal was
defeated
and an uneasy peace ensued. Prescot and Delia and the children returned
to Esser Rarioch in Valka looking forward to a happy and contented life.

Thus ends the Havilfar cycle. This volume, Tides of Kregen, opens the
Krozair
Cycle. 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, Prescot is launched
into fresh
adventures, but this time there is a hiatus which, I believe, might easily
break a
man of lesser fire and spirit than Dray Prescot, Krozair of Zy.
