The Carlsons are on the run. After throwing their lot in with the Equal Rights Movement, Claire and Della now face the wrath of a ruthless, authoritarian regime.

The Truth Seers will hunt them to the ends of Antaur, and even into space. On Palissa, a sanctuary world, they find out that someone has been kidnapping telepaths from multiple planets. Attempting to solve the mystery, Claire and her friends will come face to face with the ancient enemy more threatening than any other.

Meanwhile, young Audri hatches a plan to expose the Administrators. With the help of some Justice Keepers and friends of questionable legal status, she embarks on a mission that will take her from the slums of a distant space colony to a gala on a palatial starship.

The action heats up in ANCIENT ENEMIES, the third book in the Carlson Girls series by R.S. Penney.
