Summary

It's more than 20 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 bar, and 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?

Critic reviews

"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)

Still relevant how many years on?

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed these books which an ex introduced to me. While I have a little time to read these days it’s been an absolute delight to revisit this series again through audible. Cannot reccomend this highly enough!

A very different bar

I was really looking forward to spending another listening to these quirky and heartfelt characters but after bearing with it for 8 hours (which was a bit more then required) I gotta say feels like a different series.
The stories are a bit darker than before and are dealt with much more seriously. The sci-fi is cranked up a bit more but in a very odd way considering what’s come before.

This isn’t the same bar I walked into before.
