"[Robinson] reads in such a comfortable, personable way that it's easy to imagine that this
guy you know popped in for lunch and is telling you this story over the kitchen table."www.sffaudio.com

"What Robinson's many fans look for above all is humor, wordplay and a complicated web of allusions to
favorite rock lyrics, classic SF stories and previous Callahan tales. They get plenty of each here and should
feel right at home, again."Publishers Weekly

It's more than twenty years since Spider Robinson revealed the existence of Callahan's Crosstime Saloon,
and the original bar is gone. Mike Callahan is gone, too, but his spirit lives on in the new bar, named Mary's
Place for his daughter. On this particular day, nothing seems to be going right for Jake Stonebender, proprietor
of Mary's Place. First a huge storm rips the roof off the barand moments later, drops another, better roof on it.
Then, Mary Callahan and her husband show up, unconscious, literally out of nowhere, and they bring bad news
to the barfolk: a nasty three-eyed, three-toed, three-everythinged purple monster is going to descend upon them
within mere hours. Through laughter and tears, with puns powerful enough to melt Formica, the most famous bar
in all spacetime is going to rock this night. But will the Earth survive?
