CALLAHAN’S LEGACY

In a bar unlike any other, bartender Jake Stonebender is a little distracted by his pregnant partner, who will give birth soon—in the face of an impending invasion by a three-eyed, three-legged purple cyborg lizard. The bar’s patrons try to devise a plan to meet this threat in such a way that the world survives. Robinson orchestrates the fast-paced wit and general banter, moving easily among his broad cast of eccentric characters, including an artificially intelligent computer. His presentation of this eclectic group of characters will make followers of his work feel welcome and newcomers feel they have found a unique and friendly place to hang out. J.E.M.
