Dray Prescot #10
Avenger of Antares (Dray Prescot, #10)
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 aclaimed 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.

If you are a John Carter of Mars fan or enjoy the "displaced person on another world" then this series is for you. The books run in long story arcs so you can read just a few to complete a plot line or go for the whole set. Akers creates a very complex world for the hero to adventure in. Recommended

more of the same, all highs, no lows, adventure after adventure after adventure
it gets boring
there's no ebb
and, being #10 in a series, no true world building or character development
I'm happy this is the last one I have to read,
there were 3 published in 1975, and now I'm done with them

As always, fighting, with good villains and bad villains and over all the hero that is kind of indestructible. Always an interesting adventure when you you read one of Dray Prescott's many hair raising stories.
