Kenneth Bulmer (born 1921- died 2005) was an English bestselling author of science fiction novels. He was born in London and married Pamela Buckmaster in 1953. Bulmer had one son and two daughters, but they divorced in 1981. The author was a resident of Kent, England and died on 16th December 2005.
Bulmer wrote over one hundred and sixty books and a countless number of short stories, both under his real names as well under pseudonyms. For example, his long-running novel series, Dray Prescot was initially published under the pseudonym Alan Burt Akers and was later released by the first person lead character of the series, Prescot himself. Bulmer’s novels were favorite in translation, particularly in the German language to the extent that some of his work was published only in German editions and never published in the original English versions. The author also did some work of comics, writing scripts for War Picture Library, Valiant, and Lion. Bulmer also helped create the legendary British comics antihero, The Steel Claw. Bulmer actively participated in science fiction fandom and even traveled to the US in 1955 as the TAFF delegate. In 1970, Bulmer edited nine books of the New Writing in Science Fiction anthology, a series that was initially written by John Carnell.
Bulmer’s pen names include Rupert Clinton, Alan Burt Akers, Peter Green, Philip Kent, Manning Norvil, Tully Zetford, Nelson Sherwood, Chesman Scot, Karl Maras, Richard Silver, and Philip Stratford. Kenneth Johns was the pseudonym that Bulmer used in collaboration with John Newman. Some of Bulmer’s work was published along with works of other writers under a collective pseudonym (house names) Arthur Frazier, Neil Langholm, Andrew Quiller, Charles R. Pike, and Ken Blake. The author also ghostwrote novels for Barry Sadler.
Dray Prescot series
The Dray Prescot is a series of 52 sci-fi books and some associated short stories written by American author Kenneth Bulmer. The series is made up of 11 cycles of books, and each period forms a sequence within the series. Three short stories and four novels are stand-alone. Each of the stories is narrated from the first person perspective by the main character, Dray Prescot.
DAW Books published the first thirty-seven books in the series from 1972-1988. Up to date, the print editions of the volumes have only been released in German translation from 1991-1998 by Wilhelm Heyne Verlag.
English eBooks of volumes 38-41 were later issued by Savanti from 1995 to 1998. Since then, the eBooks volumes 1-52 have since been released by Mushroom eBooks. The publication was held for six years between volume 45and 46 due to difficulty in locating the manuscript and family illness.
The series is set in a fictional world called Kregen, a planet in Antares star system in the constellation of Scorpio. Antares is visualized as a double star system with a smaller green star (Antares B) and a giant red giant star (Antares A).
Antares B is blue though described as green, and Kregen has different moon system. The star Antares similar in hue and brightness was to planet Mars was given the name Antares meaning equal to mars or opposite to mars by the early astronomers to help them distinguish it from the planet Mars. The setting extends to Earth as Prescot meet a man from Virginia, presumably John Carter, the main character of Burrough’s Martian series.
Kregen is similar to planet Earth; it’s habitable by humans and has seven continents and several continental islands the size of Australia. The setting for all the action in the series is Paz, a grouping of four continents and islands in one hemisphere. Small sea separates most of the landmasses comprising Paz, and the continents of Paz are relatively compact compared to those of Earth, but without connecting land bridges.
The series features the main character Dray Prescot, a sailor of Nelson’s navy and his mysterious teleportation to Kregen. While in Kregen, he is restrained by an operative for the Savanti, a secret society dedicated to improving humanity in the midst of the many intelligent species occupying Kregen. Savanti, are the guardian of a pool that heals wounds and also extends life.
While in Kregen, Prescot falls to heal the princess of the empire of Valia, Delia. Their immersion in the pool extends their natural lifespans to thousands of years, but they are both banished for violating the sanctity of the pool. Returned to Kregen by the Star Lords, Prescot becomes a puppet in their schemes, forced to go to various locations on the planet to fulfill their wishes and is then send back to Earth when offends them or completes his task. Aside from accomplishing his missions for his masters, Prescot mission includes the suppression of slavery in Paz.
The narrative never catches up with the present, even though the main character appearances and the disappearances in the present, it is assumed his roles as a puppet of the Star-Lord continues. Prescot discovers more about his rivals- Savanti and Star Lords as the series progresses, even though their mysteries are never solved. However, it was in the intent of the author to fully resolve the mystery in volume 53 by having both Prescot and Delia experience sort of climax by possibly raising them to higher levels- that of the star-lords. Unfortunately, this volume was never completed by Kenneth Bulmer and remains unpublished up to date.
