Gone too soon at 66.
Sad news.
I really enjoyed his early works and remember thinking at the end of Debt of Honor how that fictional ending could actually happen in real life someday.
Ya, I read RSR in the late 90's. Loved it. Then read it again recently (forgot I had read it). Still good.This.
My favorite - Red Storm Rising. Love that book, a very well read & worn copy sits on my shelf now.
