#3 in the �Witches of Karres� homage series, this is a rollicking romp through the outer reaches of the galaxy. If he�d known he was getting stuck with a pair of psi-wielding super-beings, even straightlaced do-gooder Captain Pausert might have thought twice about rescuing his two young �witch� charges from slavery on a dark planet. But what�s done is done � and with galactic peace once again threatened in the mysterious and pirate-ridden Chaladoor region, only a dangerous mission backward in time can save the present and � maybe � get stalwart-but-obtuse Pausert to see one of these young �witches� as more than just a friend.
