Renegade of Kregen | 
pick(1976) Thirteenth in Kenneth Bulmer's sword-and-planet series featuring Dray Prescot, an eighteenth-century adventurer transported to the planet Kregen. In this one, Prescot is disgraced and far from home, disguised as an officer of the enemy's army. The series is prone to episodic, Mary-Sue-ish narratives, so this volume is one of my favorites: its plot is more coherent than usual, and Prescot faces significant loss.
dabbe Love the price and the cover! 🤩🤩🤩 1y
swynn @dabbe Right? Oh, for the days of buck-and-a-quarter paperbacks ! (Cover artist is Michael Whelan, one of my favorites) 1y
Bookwomble @swynn I like Whelan's cover art, too, though my personal fave is Bruce Pennington. ... I've never heard of this series or writer. Perhaps one that didn't make it over to Britain, of just my personal blindspot. I do enjoy a good sword and planet yarn 😊 1y
swynn @Bookwomble I definitely love Pennington too. If you like sword-and-planet stories then the Dray Prescot series is worth a try. If you can find them ... 1y
