Bimbos of the Death Sun (Jay Omega #1)
Author: Sharyn McCrumb
Desc: For one fateful weekend the annual science fiction and fantasy convention Rubicon has all but taken over a usually ordinary hotel. Now the halls are alive with Trekkies tech nerds and fantasy gamers in their Viking finery *all of them eager to hail their hero bestselling fantasy author Appin Dungannon: a diminutive despot whose towering ego more than compensates for his 5' 1" height . . . and whose gleeful disdain for his fawning fans is legendary. Hurling insults and furniture with equal abandon the terrible tiny author proceeds to alienate ersatz aliens and make-believe warriors at warp speed. But somewhere between the costume contest and the exhibition Dungeons & Dragons game Dungannon gets done in. While die-hard fans of Dungannon's seemingly endless sword-and-sorcery series wonder how they'll go on and hucksters wonder how much they can get for the dead man's autograph a hapless cop wonders Who would want to kill Appin Dungannon? But the real question as the harried convention organizers know is Who wouldn't ? "I loved BIMBOS OF THE DEATH SUN . . . Beautifully observed funny nicely constructed even compassionate." *Robert Silverberg From the Paperback edition.
