Synopsis
Captain Pausert, a respectable trader, makes the well-intentioned mistake of rescuing three young witch girls from slavery — only to discover they possess terrifying psychic powers that attract the attention of every pirate, government agent, and cosmic horror in the galaxy. As he is dragged from one hair-raising adventure to the next, Pausert discovers hidden abilities of his own.
