NEW ENTRY IN THE WITCHES OF KARRES SERIES BY NEW YORK TIMES
BEST-SELLING AUTHOR ERIC FLINT & DAVE FREER
Captain Pausert just can't catch a break!
First, he became the mortal enemy of his fiancée, his home planet, the
Empire--and even the Worm World, the darkest threat to mankind in all of
space. All because he helped rescue three slave children from their
masters. Of course, these three young women were the universally feared
witches of Karres--but how was he to know that?!
And after he defeated the Worm World (with the help of the witches, of
course), the Empress herself had sent him on a secret mission to stop a
nanite plague that was raging across the galaxy. But an enemy had
somehow convinced the Imperial Fleet that he was actually a wanted
criminal, so after a battle leaving his ship in urgent need of repairs,
Pausert and the witches of Karres joined an interstellar traveling
circus in order to save the galaxy.
Now Pausert and the witches of Karres roam the spaceways again, this
time dealing with a slaver-culture that somehow makes slaves happy to be
in servitude, and a quest for a long-lost alien pet, during which the
youngest witch, the Leewit, begins to come to her full powers as a
healer--and of course generates chaos in her wake.
For Pausert, it's all in a day's work. But would it be too much to ask
for a vacation?
