Bimbos of the Death Sun

Sharyn McCrumb is a born storyteller.. *Mary Higgins Clark. . WINNER OF THE EDGAR AWARD!.         . Sharyn McCrumb has few equals and no superiors among today's novelists.. *San Diego Union-Tribune. . 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
