The utterly charming prequel to the New York Times-bestseller Mr
Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore. San Francisco, 1969. The summer of
drugs, music and a new age dawning. A young, earnest Ajax Penumbra
has been given his first assignment as a Junior Acquisitions
Officer - to find the single surviving copy of the Techne Tycheon,
a mysterious volume that has brought and lost great fortune for
anyone who has owned it. After a few weeks of rigorous hunting,
Penumbra feels no closer to his goal than when he started. But late
one night, after another day of dispiriting dead ends, he stumbles
upon a 24-hour bookstore and the possibilities before him expand
exponentially. With the help of his friend's homemade computer, an
ancient map, a sunken ship and the vast shelves of the 24-hour
bookstore, Ajax Penumbra might just find what he's seeking...
