With Pelleas and Yates out to put an end to the Free Traders, the starship Falstaff was no longer a safe refuge for renegade empath Kayla John Reed. Now her survival—and that of the rebel troops, the War Minstrels—hinged upon Kayla's finding the Mindstar, a legendary source of infinite power that would suck the life out of anyone who tried to master it and failed.

Come follow Kayla's continuing adventures in another great story, the second in the War Minstrel's series. First published by DAW, ReAnimus Press is pleased to bring you a series you'll enjoy.
