Publisher's Synopsis
This collection from the award-winning author captures the exploits of Thaddeus Flint, carny extraordinaire, who gets more than he bargained for when he purchases a carnival sideshow to absorb the competition. The collection, including Sideshow, The Three-Legged Hootch Dancer, The Wild Alien Tamer, and The Best Rootin' Tootin' Shootin' Gunslinger in the Whole Damned Galaxy (all previously published by Signet), is Resnick at his best. Resnick has created in these Tales an unforgettable cast of vivid characters evolving their way through a galaxy as fraught with danger, double crosses, and duplicity as any county fair midway. The author himself has a fondness for this series, among his more than 80 works, saying that of all the many characters I've created over the years I'm still fondest of Thaddeus and the gang. A Hugo and Nebula award-winning author, Resnick is well known in the science fiction orbit, and this collection brings together in one volume a gem of a series -- each novel more entertaining than the last.
