Once again the Callahan regulars and bartender Jake Stonebender must save the world, this time from the designs of a nasty alien via group telepathy. Full of wit, riotously funny puns and a treasure trove of wisdom, this novel gives the full flavor of Spider Robinson's genius. "Subversive, dangerous, iconoclastic, cantankerous. Puns, palindromes, puzzlers, posers, pranks, and poetry. A three ring circus of ideas—I loved it!" - John Varley "A riot for Callahan's addicts." - Kirkus Reviews "If one were given the task of creating Spider Robinson from scratch, the best way to do it would be to snatch James Joyce from history, force-feed him Marx Brothers films and good jazz for the better part of a decade, then turn him loose on a world badly in need of a look at itself." - The Vancouver Sun Spider Robinson is the hottest writer to hit science fiction since Harlan Ellison, and he can match the master’s frenetic energy and emotional intensity, arm-break for gut-wrench.” - The Los Angeles Times “Nobody’s perfect, but Spider comes pretty damned close.” - Ben Bova "Spider Robinson is the Tom Robbins of the 21st century." - John Varley Spider Robinson is a master storyteller…" - Allen Steele [Spider Robinson] "embodies the best of Sturgeon, Heinlein, and Asimov." - David Gerrold |
