Book description
BARWORLD! For all the years that BILL had served in the Troopers, with
all the hard beds, hard heads and no creds, any booze on offer was
probably embalming fluid, or worse.
BARWORLD! An assignment there promised bubbly, brandy and beer galore -
enough to give BILL's right arms (both of them) at last some idea of
just what they were for.
But that was before Uncle Nancy's Cross-Dressing Emporium. And the
Time/Space Resonation Nexus. And the Hippy from Hell.
They were enough to completely alter a person's perceptions of reality.
And, like, totally
bum him out. David Bischoff (1951 -)
