Stories include 'The Blacksmith's Tale,' 'Pyotr's Story,' 'Involuntary Man's Laughter,' and 'The Mick of Time.' It's the last book about Callahan's Saloon itself, but the series continued as Jake Stonebender, the narrator, opened Mary's Place (see 'The Blacksmith's Tale' to learn why it's called that) and later the gang relocated to Key West.

And if there's time left at the end of the night, just maybe they'll save the world... (retrieved from Amazon Tue, 05 Jan 2010 14:21:20 -0500) The first test round has been closed.
