#2 He was an enjoyable writer to read. His first work that I read was Santiago, which is also one of his more famous ones. I'm saddened to hear he's no longer with us. I really miss Pournelle, especially as he never was able to flesh out the tale of Hal Slater in his Falkenberg stories like he said he planned to.

Santiago
