Captain Pausert, master of the old pirate-chaser Venture, has finally found his metier. Unlucky in love and unsuccessful at business on his home planet of Nikkeldepain, he seems to have a knack for selling job-lot cargoes around the fringes of the Empire.
In fact, he's so far ahead of the game that he even finds time to perform the occasional noble deed. Which is how, on the dull, dumpy and decidedly sixth-rate planet of Porlumma, he rescues three poor child-slaves from their abusive masters. And finds himself completely broke, hunted by the authorities of his home planet and at odds with the most malevolent force in all of space. For Pausert hasn't rescued any ordinary put-upon juvenile slaves but three of the legendary witches of Karres, complete with awesome psi powers . . .
