 dray prescot sword'n'sf series by ken bulmer writing as "alan burt akers" #5:

#1: "transit to scorpio" (1972), q.v. for series listing and links.

near-identical editions/printings sharing merkin-printed covers, and hence also cat#, near-meaningless daw books collectors number 97,

cover art and b+w illustrations including frontispiece by jack gaughan (credited, signed with his jg digraph)
cover price $1.25
224pp. including titles, indicia etc, end p. advertising

refer to indicia to see if carcass of copy held was canadadian- or merkin- printed.
no priority established nor liable to be, both bear full first printing's number-string, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

novel is followed by 2pp. b+w "prescot's map of part of kregen" by ken bulmer signing as "d.p.krzy" (dray prescot & krozair of zy), fictional "a note on prescot's map of part of kregen" by ken as by alan burt akers, and "a glossary of persons, places and things in the saga of prescot of antares".

1976 (from joshlist. html) undated 4th printing by number-string, 4 5 6 7 8 9, adopts new cover design,
cover art by josh kirby (in joshlist.html) (indica incorrectly retains previous credit to jack gaughan)
cat# UY1251
cover price $1.25
there was prob'ly a simultaneous canadadian-carcassed $1.25 redesigned cover edition sharing the josh kirby covers and cat#, probapossibly credited the 2nd canadian printing in its indicia, logically enough, but accounted the thrid printing by daw books, inc. in new york.
