Search - The Callahan Touch

Another utopian science fantasy, set in a fictional bar on Long Island, which can only be found if you really *need* to... This one is "Mary's Place" opened by Jake Stonebender after Callahan's is nuked. Most of the regulars are there - Doc Webster, Fast Eddie, Long Drink McGonnigal. Pyotr the vampire, Ralph Von Wau Wau the talking dog, and those who aren't are discusses fondly. Plus there are several new characters - Ernie (aka 'the Lucky Duck'), a sentient Macintosh Computer, and a cluricaune - the cousin to a leprechaun whose sole interest in life is drinking alcohol, and a mysterious bass player... It's well written, and full of the usual humor and puns for which the author is known. Recommended.

I recommend reading the entire series. You'll never meet a more loveable group of characters in more improbable circumstances.
