Continuum 16: Reboot

16th Annual Melbourne Speculative Fiction Convention

As part of Continuum 15 we got pins made... which didn't actually arrive in time for the convention.

As a result we are selling them, one con and a few years later. They will be $15 each, or two for $25, and will be available from the rego desk.

To preorder email [email protected]
