Bimbos & Zombies : Bimbos of the Death Sun / Zombies of the Gene Pool

I doubt that the other fellow who reviewed this book actually read it. More likely he read the inside cover, becuase the plot summations he gave are 90% wrong. He has the names of some of the characters and the basic setting, but everything else he must have made up becuase it bears no resemblance to the actually stories contained in the book. The books are very interest and a fun read, especially for scifi/fantasy fans. I'm not much for mysteries, I only picked up these books becuase the setting for the first book (Bimbos of the Death Sun) sounded interesting (A Fantasy/SciFi Convention). The mystery was ok, not really the strong part of the story, but the characters and dead on description of Wargamers, Trekies, RPG players and other conventioneers is the most entertaining part. The story is only 135 pages long and a quick fun read with a decent mystery to boot. The second story in the book, Zombies of the Gene Pool, is very interesting and better written than the first. It's a very interesting analysis of the scifi genre and fans, with some interesting fanzine history included. The mystery is interesting all the way to the end, where it fell apart for me. The last 2 chapters were a disappointment, but still didn't take away from an enjoyable quick read over all. I guess I also loved the majority of the book so much, the ending just couldn't live up to the rest of the book in my mind. Zombies is longer than Bimbos by about 60 pages, but is a better written story in my estimation, still they both are really enjoyable and I just purchase another copy for my brother to enjoy (he's a big comic and scifi/fantasy guy). I highly reccomend these books singley or in this combination hardcover, they are worth the read (I finished them in a night apiece before going to bed.)
