Adventures: The Chronicles of Lucifer Jones, Volume I, 1922-1926

By Mike Resnick

Mike Resnick introduces us to Lucifer Jones, a con man traveling in Africa presenting himself as a missionary. As the author puts it, Lucifer unfortunately "isn't the brightest bulb in the lamp" and mirth rather than wealth is often the result of his endeavors.

Volumes II and III follow Lucifer's travels in Asia and Europe, respectively.

Of all the characters that Mike Resnick has created, Lucifer Jones remains his favorite.
