"Kage Baker is the greatest natural storyteller to enter the field since Poul Anderson." --Gardner DozoisThe agents of the Dr. Zeus Company can seem like gods or pawns . . . or sometimes both at the same time. Mendoza and Joseph travel to Bolivia to meet a tribe whose members claim to be gods in "To the Land Beyond the Sunset," while in "The Catch," an early Company experiment in immortality goes awry. The Norton Award-winning "A Night on the Barbary Coast" brings Mendoza and Joseph to the California Gold Rush, and "Hellfire at Twilight" sees Lewis take on the Hellfire Club when a precious historical scroll is at stake. These stories and more flesh out beloved characters and mysterious events in the history of the Company. Essential reading for fans of the Company series.
