I guess that makes three deaths in the comes in threes superstition.

I suppose it is not time to call Mccain home.

Not a big Brian Adliss fan, but I have read some of his work. It's sad to see all the wonderful science fiction writers passing away.

Thankfully Jerry Pournell is still going strong, and you can even trade messages with him at his website!

Chaos Manor.

Saw a reference to Spielbergs AI. Spent 3 month on the set of AI. Interesting!!!

A wonderful author, and one among a few who brought to the world deep, rich, science fiction stories, before the days when Star Wars/Star Trek books hogged many shelves of a science fiction section in the larger bookstores.

Never liked his stuff much - too new wavish for me. Never cared for his stories, but enjoyed a few of his novels. “Starship” is the only one that sticks in memory - a generational starship that has gone savage and tribal IIRC.

RIP though. The authors that I read growing up are now nearly all gone.
