Thanks for posting this. After Isaac Asimov, Henlein was my favorite Sci Fi writer. He was not afraid to paint with a large brush, but for adventure, he was the man. After his writing, what I remember most is his apparent agnosticism/atheism and it always made me feel sad for him. He was responsible for countless, pleasant hours spent following his characters through alien galaxies on great adventures -- all the while having my imagination stretched and expanded. He will definitely be missed.

Thanks for the heads up. Pretty old thread, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy reading it.
