Jim Harmon 
Break a Leg 

This witty science-fiction tale from Jim Harmon follows the misadventures of Charlie Baxter — a representative of the unlucky category of Earthlings known as Accident Prones. Baxter has been blessed — or is "cursed" the better term? — with the uncanny ability to identify the dangers of newly discovered planets by immediately falling prey to them himself, often with painful results. Can he overcome his doomed fate and flourish?
