The Wandering Variables — Louis Trimble

Dr. Tandy Venner is an irreplaceable asset to the Charter Worlds Union. Much too valuable to go off on an unexpected vacation by herself. So Jano Kegan, an operative of Charter Worlds, went along on a Euphor Tek team.

But he and Dr. Venner got more than they bargained for. Attempted kidnapping, mind-control, out-of-bounds programming . . . not quite what was promised. Before they know it, Venner and Kegan are off on a wild odyssey, breaking all the rules to find out what Eupor's really all about.
