A New Sequel to The Witches of Karres. Two Top Writers Continue the
Bewitching Adventures Begun in One of Science Fiction's Most Beloved
Novels.
As Captain Pausert had often had occasion to observe, life just wasn't
fair! Hadn't he (with the help of the notorious witches of Karres, of
course) outmaneuvered the deadliest of space pirates and eliminated the
threat of the Worm World (as told in The Witches of Karres), after
which, at the least, he deserved some time off. No such luck, though, as
the Empress herself sent him on a secret mission to stop the nanite
plague, 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 all three of them joined an interstellar
traveling circus (don't ask!) in order to save the galaxy once again (as
told in The Wizard of Karres).
Time for a vacation? Don't be ridiculous--there's a new urgent mission
that has Captain Pausert's name on it! This new novel finds the
long-suffering Captain and the two young Karres witches--Goth, who vows
she will marry him when she grows up, and her younger sister The
Leewit--being sent off to investigate mysterious and ominous events in
the notorious Chaladoor region of space. Goth soon becomes aware that
unknown but surely inimical forces are tracking them, and in order to
foil them she takes a desperate route to travel back in time and meet
Pausert as a young boy. Meanwhile, the Captain and the Leewit find
themselves in the middle of their own desperate situation in the
Chaladoor.
Whoever it was who said that a change was as good as a vacation never
met any of the Witches of Karres--nor experienced their amazing talent
for getting Captain Pausert into trouble.
