Tabonga | 2,317 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Sad to say but one of my favorite authors has passed away. He was 78 and over the course of his career he wrote mostly science fiction - often with characters that were larger than life - basically folk heroes of one stripe or another. He had a lot of clever ideas - for example one set of books was set on an orbital brothel and another was set on a galactic midway. He also wrote one of the earliest urban fantasies "Stalking the Unicorn" in 1987 - he wrote a couple of follow up novels to it but never devled very far into that genre. He also used a lot of humor in most of his writings - something I always like in fiction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_works_by_Mike_Resnick Edited January 9, 2020 by Wandering Tellurian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br81zad | 629 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I've never read his work, but it sounds interesting. I'll keep an eye out for the name next time I'm in Halfprice Books. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
