The Callahan’s series by Spider Robinson stretches across 26 years, from Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon in 1977 through to Callahan’s Con in 2003. The twelve books came out at irregular intervals — Callahan’s Secret arrived in 1986, then three books landed in 1989, followed by a cluster through the 1990s including Lady Slings the Booze, The Callahan Touch, and Off the Wall at Callahan’s.
A splinter strand within the series follows Callahan’s Lady (1989) and Lady Slings the Booze (1992), which shift the setting from the original saloon to a related establishment run by female characters. Callahan’s Key (2000) and Callahan’s Con (2003) round out the series in the 2000s, giving long-term readers a final pair of entries after a four-year gap following Callahan’s Legacy in 1996.
