Die Werwölfe von Kregen (Saga Von Dray Prescot, #33)

Dray Prescot #33

by Alan Burt Akers

Dray Prescot is an Earthman, seaman and soldier, brought across four hundred light years to a planet of Antares. The Star Lords, a race advanced beyond our ken, needed him on that world called Kregen. Now, having at last returned to his home empire, to his wife and his friends, Dray was to learn that the vengeance of his defeated enemies had launched a final assault--with nine occult curses--against Vallia and all that Dray held dear. The first curse, the plague of murderous werewolves, took Dray by surprise. Could his valor and courage, though tempered on the battlefields of alien suns, stand up against an unprecedented onslaught of warring witchcraft?

Reviews

[Jakob J. 🎃]

-Please don’t tell me I have to read thirty-two previous space adventures just to get to another candidate for my best werewolf novel hunt.

-Please tell me that these are all isolated, standalone stories and that I don’t have to sift through a convoluted canon to understand why there is a race of interstellar werewolves.

-Please, please tell me that these good boys are at war with the sword-wielding tyrannosaurus rexes depicted on a previous cover from this series, because in that case, I will have to look no further for the best werewolf novel or the best dinosaur novel ever written. My beastly quest will be prematurely complete.

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

when I saw that Akers had introduced "werewolves" and such on Kregen I thought to myself that he'd finally jumped the shark. But it turned out to be a good story with lots of the usual action and adventure.
