DESCRIPTION

In Jake Stonebender’s little Key West bar, Fast Eddie Costigan learned to curse back at parrots as he played the house piano; the Reverend Tom Hauptman learned to tend bar bare-chested without blushing; and Long-Drink McGonnigle discovered the margarita and several senoritas. Nobody even noticed them save the universe.

After ten slow, merry years, their laid-back existence is disturbed by a malevolent, moronic mastodon of a Mafioso named Tony Donuts, Jr., who intends to resurrect the classic protection racket. Then, thanks to very poor accessorizing, Jake’s wife Zoey finds herself in a place with no light, no heat, no air, and no way home. The mystery of her whereabouts turns out to be so complex that even the entire gang, equipped with telepathy, teleportation, and time travel, might not be able to crack it in time.



REVIEWS

“Robinson knows how to generate tension without losing his sense of humor, a more difficult trick than you might imagine.”—New York Times

“Spider Robinson is the hottest writer to hit science fiction since Ellison.”—Los Angeles Times

“Robinson’s latest entry in his Callahan series features more zaniness, good humor, and bad jokes. Fans will enjoy this fast-paced blend of SF adventure and tall tale.”—Library Journal

“[Barrett Whitener] does his familiar and fun vocal gymnastics routine, spouting off one liners in a dozen comic voices. Whitener, an Audie Award winner, is well matched with comic material—it really and truly is his forte.”—SFFAudio.com

“Blend a madcap plot involving the legendary Fountain of Youth with a zany cast of barflies, a thin SF twist, and you’ve got the ingredients for the latest frothy concoction in Hugo-winning Robinson’s multivolume tall tale.”—Publishers Weekly



SPIDER ROBINSON is renowned for his “Callahan’s Place” series of best-selling novels. With his wife, Jeanne, he has written the Hugo- and Nebula-winning “Stardance” series. Winner of three Hugo Awards and a Nebula Award, he currently resides on an island near Vancouver, British Columbia, and writes a regular editorial column, “Future Tense,” for the Globe and Mail. He is a favorite guest at sci-fi conventions across the United States and Canada.
