Exploits: The Chronicles of Lucifer Jones, Volume II, 1926-1931 - The Chronicles of Lucifer Jones, #2

In Volume I, Adventures, Mike Resnick introduced 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 exploits. This second volume tracks Lucifer's travels through Asia. Of all the characters that Mike Resnick has created, Lucifer Jones remains his favorite.
