I loved many of his books. This is very sad.

Only 66. So many more years of creativity left untapped. Sad.

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

A friend saw him at a reading in the Bay area recently and had no idea he had been sick. Wow - I loved his early books, esp Andromeda Strain and Jurassic Park (scared the begeebers out of me long before the movie came out). I didn't care for the direction that many of his latter books took so stopped reading him, but there is no question he was an excellent writer. He will be missed.
