The Callahan series for is very special to me. I used to be a metro bus driver. About six or seven years ago after my run I returned back to the yard. I finished my paperwork and got up to sweep the back and found a tattered copy Callahan's Crosstime Saloon on one of the seats.

99 times out of a hundred I would have dropped it in the lost and found box by dispatch, but the cover looked interesting so I took it home and read it. Now back then I wasn't what you'd call a big reader, but after I read the first story "The Guy With The Eyes" I was hooked.

I've read the whole saga from Callahan's to Lady Callahan's to where Jake took over for Mike.

For any one who hasn't read them the best I can describe the books is that they're a primer on how the human race "should" work.

Sometimes I like to think that Mike Callahan left that book on that seat. "TO GOOD BOOKS!!!" -SMASH!!!-
