Bimbos Of The Death Sun

Author: Sharyn Mccrumb

When a scholar, Dr. James Owen Mega, has his book accepted for publication, he never realizes that his academic tome is about to become a best-seller through the unfortunate name change of his book to the title of this book. The publisher also dubs him as Jay Omega to match the title. To promote the book, he, and another scholar, attend a science fiction conference where of course murder happens. The ultimate irony is that McCrumb won the Edgar for this book, and now has that this title on her own book covers. Why It Made the List Before The Big Bang Theory came to be, there were McCrumbÃ¢s renditions of what the culture of a science fiction convention looked like. She caught the spirit of the people involved and portrayed them carefully, yet humorously. This book and its follow-up, Zombies of the Gene Pool, are well-worth looking up.
