Callahan

Twenty years after Callahan's Crosstime Saloon was revealed, the original bar is gone, but Mike Callahan's spirit lives on in the new bar, named Mary's Place for his daughter. On this inauspicious day, Mary Callahan and her husband show up literally out of nowhere, and they bring bad news: a nasty three-eyed, three-toed, three-everythinged purple monster is going to descend upon them within mere hours. Through laughter and tears, the most famous bar in all spacetime is going to rock this night…but will the Earth survive?

The universe in is peril. Due to a cluster of freakish phenomena, the United States' own defense system has become a doomsday machine, threatening the entire universe. Only one man can save everything-as-we-know-it from annihilation.

After ten laid-back years, the zany crew at Jake Stonebender's little Key West bar is presented with a problem so complex that even the entire gang, equipped with telepathy, teleportation, and time travel might not be able to crack it in time.

This omnibus edition contains the trilogy of science-fiction books that introduced the world to Mike Callahan and all of the regulars at Callahan's Place. Callahan's Crosstime Saloon is the neighborhood tavern to all of time and space, where the regulars are anything but. These time travelers, talking dogs, alcoholic vampires, and cybernetic aliens really, truly care about each other. Time Travelers Strictly Cash is the policy. Lay your money on the bar and after drinking, make a toast and throw the glass into the fireplace. It's an odd tradition, but one that's led to some interesting stories. Callahan's Secret may be one that nobody would guess, or it may be as simple as listening to all those post-toast stories. After all, shared pain is lessened and shared joy is increased—a concept that could, after a few drinks, lead to saving the world.
