This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
I like this a lot. It is really fun. For geeks only. Pay attention to the names. I would like to have a list of all the shows, films, and books referenced to see what I might have missed. Would enter some quotes if I had time.

I sometimes say that reality depends on the current book I'm reading. I may have to point out all the red shirts at ConCarolinas. Of course, anyone who wears a red shirt to a Con with John Scalzi as the GoH deserves it.

I thought the ending was a little weak.

I won this ebook from LibraryThing. ( )

If you are a convention attender of almost any genre, be it gamer or SciFi or Fantasy or Cosplay or whatever, you will *love* this story of a convention that is, well, abducted. How the Con Comm handles it is beyond hysterical and will give you an appreciation for the people t struggle to create your favorite 'con. ( )

This story opens behind the scenes at a convention that's about to get a lot more interesting than the organizers bargained for. Great dialog, typically nerdy ethical debates, and an outrageous plot that somehow works in context. It is filled with geeky references, but it's lots of popular stuff like hitchhikers guide and star trek, so even more casual fans will catch many of them.

A fun read, and my one complaint is that I would have liked to get to know Andie Mae a bit better! She had so much potential, but after the opening we only really see her through the eyes of her staff. ( )

I received this book as a free download through the early reviewers group. I had a very difficult time downloading and reading the book. I think because it was digital instead of print, I just couldn't get into it. To be honest, I didn't even finish.

I had trouble getting into it. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to go along with the whole comicon gone into space thing. But the mark of a fine storyteller is one who is so good that you can't help but read it until you get over your doubts, and then there's a payoff. It was a good, fun read. ( )

“What, like an SEP field?” It was Xander again, despite Andie Mae’s multiple admonitions. It was all simply too much. “You know, if it’s Somebody Else’s Problem then you can’t see…”
