 Alan Burt Akers is a pseudonym for Kenneth Bulmer. The Dray Prescott series of books, which ceased publication after the 37th novel in 1985, were originally published by Daw. Later volumes in the series listed Dray Prescott as the author. A more recent set of books in the series numbering from 38 - 52 were published in Germany from 1991. They will eventually be available in English language versions.
The series deals with an Englishman, Dray Prescott, who was born on Earth in 1775 (under the sign of Scorpio). He was a sailor in Admiral Lord Nelson's navy and was transported to the planet Kregen to join the Savanti of Aphrasöe - the Star Lords. Kregen orbits the double star Antares in the constellation of Scorpio which is about 400 light years from earth.
While on Kregen, Prescott is immersed in the Sacred Pool which gives him enhanced health and recuperative powers, and a (renewable) life-span of a thousand years. The Star Lords of Kregen seek to civilize the other races such as the Diff and humans, also known as Apim, using genetic techniques. [edit]
