eBook Description: Charon has enjoyed his job ferrying dead folk on his boat across the River Styx for thousands of years. But this trip, he senses something wrong. Eavesdropping on chatty, irreverent deceased rowers, he learns that there is more than one way to cross a river--and that there‘s a first time for everything.

Charon tapped skeletal fingers on the gunwales as he stood at the head of the gangplank waiting for the last passenger to board. The last was a fat mortal with rubbery white skin, like a slug, who whistled a happy tune Charon didn't recognize. The boatman was annoyed at the mortal's impertinence and because he didn't recognize the tune.
The passenger had a patch of white hair in the center of his chest that Charon grabbed in bony fingers as he passed. The whistling turned to a yelp.
"What's that tune, mortal?" Charon hissed.
"Hey, lemme loose," the fat man whined.
Charon complied with obvious reluctance. The mortal muttered thanks. Then: "Bridge on the River Kwai."
