That is, until last week when a renegade scientist blew the lock off his testosterone and reopened his eyes. A chance to free himself has landed in Kael's lap. He can run and hope his \"employers\" forget he was ever born. He just needs to get a ride off this backwater planet and deliver the strange capsule that's been foisted on him.

Abuses like the strange capsule hidden in his cabin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eFor lovers of romantic space opera with a kick of humor and a few explosions, THE EMPRESS CAPSULE is the first volume in the Audacity Saga.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCopyright R.K.
