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?! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For Pausert, it's all in a day's work.
