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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHurling 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 \u0026amp; Dragons game, Dungannon gets done in.

But the real question, as the harried convention organizers know, is Who wouldn't ?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I loved BIMBOS OF THE DEATH SUN . . .
