PALE COUNTRY PURSUIT
by Hans Kneifel
 PROLOG



In the Greater Imperium of the Arkonides it is the year 10496 A (for
Arkon)тАФa time corresponding to the Earthly year of 9003 B.C. Thus it is a
time in which the inhabitants of Earth are yet submerged in primitive
barbarism, knowing neither of the stars nor of the great heritage of
vanished Lemuria.

By contrastтАФand despite the great war against the MaahksтАФArkon is in
its fullest prime. The present Imperator of this vast domain is Orbanoshol
111, a man of brutality and cunning who is rumoured to have instigated the
death of his brother, Gonozal VII, in order to take over the rulership for
himself.

Even though Orbanoshol III has firmly established his dominion, there is
one man whom the Emperor of Arkon must fear: Atlan, the rightful heir to
the throne. After GonozalтАЩs death, he had disappeared without a trace,
along with the former physician to Gonozal VII.

But perhaps the trail had not been sufficiently obscured, because
OrbanosholтАЩs brutal agents, the Kralasenes, have suddenly appeared on
the remote planet of GortavorтАФwhere Atlan has grown to manhood under
the watchful eye of Fratulon and in the protection of Tarkihl without
knowing anything of his true origin. It is here that they have arrested the
old physician without any warning.

Atlan and his companions take flight from the EmperorтАЩs agentsтАУand thus
begins the PURSUIT THROUGH THE PALE LANDтАж
