Anybody going to, or thinking about going to, Conspiracy II? Guests of honor Eric Flint, Dylan Horrocks, Isabelle Carmody and, um, some cyberpunk lady I've never heard of. I'm sort of vaguely considering it but, well, I probably wouldn't bother paying air fares and so on if no-one I know's going to be there. :P

I don't mind him. Okay, his history is very "Now this is the REAL truth, forget what they told you at high school" even when it's blatantly false, and his "Smalltown America is the best place on Earth, with the best people!*" is so headdesky as to be almost unbearable, but he writes a good plot. And I do like many of his characters. I just try to ignore the blatantly stupid bits.

*Okay, I can go with the CEOs Are Evil bit, but smalltown Americans are conservative rednecks in the vast majority. Which = not good.

I don't really think he does write a very good plot. Its always unclear what his villains are actually trying to achieve, they seem to just quibble around until the Americans smash them up.
