Publisher's Summary
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. It's the rare kind of place where bad puns are as appreciated as good conversation.
Time Travelers Strictly Cash is their policy. Lay your money on the bar, name your poison, step up to the line drawn on the barroom floor, 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 something even the regulars would never guess. Then again, it may be as simple as listening to those post-toast stories. After all, like Callahan says, shared pain is lessened and shared joy is increased, a simple concept that could, after a few drinks, lead to saving the world.
What the critics say
"Robinson is the hottest writer to hit science fiction since Ellison, and he can match the master's frenetic energy and emotional intensity, arm-break for gut-wrench." (Los Angeles Times)
"Tall tales....fine and funny....A significant achievement for light humor!" (Houston Post)

Great Reading!!!
I ran into these books a few years ago and really enjoyed reading them. When the opportunity came to listen to them as audiobooks, I jumped at it with glee.
The reader, Mr. Whitener, does a super job reading the stories. He's able to 'bring them to life', to make the different characters 'leap off the page'.

Oh, I’ve missed Callahan and crowd!
There was more relevance to today’s world than I expected, the puns were more pungent (and punlady) than I can hold my nose for, and the tales were overall more moving than I remembered. So glad I took the time to listen and care.

Great story. But the narration needs a skootch more work
This is one of those books that really needs a full cast—the guy is doing his best and usually does well, but when it comes to Callahan’s Irish accent, it’s all over the place.
