Five years ago, a cataclysmic event obliterated everything within a fifty mile radius of the Los Spinoza Convention Centerright in the middle of Long Con, the world's biggest (and longest) pop culture convention. Underdog reporter Victor Lai barely escaped with his life, but his nerdy friend Dez Delaneypublicist for an indie darling comics publisherwasn't so lucky. Now, Victor finds himself with the story of a lifetimethat the con-goers not only survived inside the center's cavernous Cold War-era halls... they kept the convention going. It doesn't take long for Victor to get trapped inside, find Dez, and run afoul of a totalitarian sci-fi fandom ruled by a mysterious figure known as "the Special Guest." Breaking out is impossible, and resistance is futilebut maybe, just maybe, Dez and Victor can recruit some unexpected allies from the warring factions of fans, pros, and D-list celebrities that still roam the show floor...
