Jake’s Justice
Book Three of Wizards
By
John Booth
Jake is in trouble with his wives. The wedding happened over two weeks ago and his marriages are still unconsummated. All because he made a deal with the Wizards of Valhalla to save their lives, you’d think they would be grateful.
Jake is about to find that the problem with his wives is as nothing to the trouble the Valhallans have brought down on his head. Now everybody wants him dead. To be fair, that’s only somewhat over two hundred thousand…star systems.
On the positive side, young women are falling over themselves to give what his wives are denying him, but then Jake is a moral young man and he is desperate to stay loyal to the two women he married. Who would ever have thought that agreeing to go to a multiverse conference would cause so many problems?
The big question is whether Jake will survive until the conference starts.

Mr. Griffith’s old coach fell to the ground and bounced a couple of inches as we arrived from Salice. Everybody was flung forward. I had been standing with my hand resting on the top of the driver’s chair and ended up with my nose pressed hard against the windscreen.
“Getting a bit tired, are we Jake?” Mr. Griffith asked in that fake Welsh accent he often affects. “Not surprised. I imagine those two wives of yours have been wearing you out, boy?”
It was a sore point and I didn’t answer. I’d been married for two weeks and the only place I’d been sleeping was on the couch or my bed back in my parent’s house. The women who ruled my life had not forgiven me for the deal I’d made with the wizards from
Valhalla
. The fact that we would be dead if I hadn’t cut the deal didn’t count as a reasonable excuse in their eyes.
Which was typical of Esmeralda. Unfortunately, Jenny became more like her with every day that passed. Despite the fact they came from different universes they were more like twins than rivals these days. And I was the sole focus of their ire.
“I think Jake’s bitten off more than he can chew,” Malcolm said snidely from a couple of seats back. His girlfriend, Silvia, sitting by his side, squeezed him with the hand suspiciously resting on his lap and I was pleased to see him wince.
Silvia smiled at me with a look on her face that took no notice of the fact that I was now a very married man. You can’t easily get more married than by having two strong minded and increasingly pregnant wives.
“Leave Jake alone, Malcolm. I expect he could do with a rest. Though they tell me a change is as good as a rest.” She winked and I swear the little vixen parted her legs as well as her lips. Malcolm was going to have a hard time keeping that one from straying; assuming he’d managed it during the time they were in Salice.
Mrs. Griffith made a throat clearing sound from her seat on the other side of the bus. “We should have gone with the others on the last trip. Jake must be exhausted.”
I smiled at her. I liked Mrs. G. and I wondered how she’d react when she discovered she was pregnant. She had been unable to bear children the first time she’d got on this bus with me and I’d changed that without her knowledge. I was smugly satisfied with myself over it. It amused me that Mr. Griffith had done the deed with her so quickly. There must be life in the old dog for all his age. He was at least forty.
“We’re here now, Mrs. G. Can I leave you to sort out the rest of the journey? I have some things I need to attend to.”
