NEW ENTRY IN THE WITCHES OF KARRES SERIES BYNEW YORK TIMESBEST-SELLING AUTHOR ERIC FLINT & DAVE FREER

Captain Pausert just cant catch a break!

First, he became the mortal enemy of his fiance, his home planet, the Empireand 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 Karresbut 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, Puasert 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-culturethat 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 healerand of course generates chaos in her wake.

For Pausert, its all in a days work. But would it be too much to ask for a vacation
