I went into Dymocks today (wallet carefully looked after by my fiance) and he spotted a bookmark for Conjuction, the 49th NZ National Science Fiction & Fantasy Convention. I'm SO excited about this for several reasons:

I haven't read any Peter F. Hamilton but he is probably my fiance's favourite author and he insists that I will love one particularly trilogy of his. I've said I will... once I get through my to-be-read bookshelf.
