CALLAHAN’S KEY

Another outing (Callahan’s Legacy, 1996, etc.) for bullet-proof bartender Jake Stonebender, his wife Zoey, their superintelligent 14-month-old, Erin, and the eponymous bar that, thanks to a vindictive licensing inspector, has been closed and shuttered for 18 months. Still, some of the regulars will show up: reconstituted genius scientist Nikola Tesla, the probability-bending Lucky Duck, and Fast Eddie the piano player. A move to a warmer and less inhabited location seems in order, since this time they have ten years to save not just Earth but the entire universe. Puns, booze, coffee, save the universe, not necessarily in that order. Okay for the fans, and is there some reason why all the question marks—just the curly bits, not the dots—have been rotated 180 degrees?
