Jack Vance, 1916-2013

I love the tales of the dying earth. He made the key points that most people use when they think of wizards.

Sorry to hear, though I'm glad that he lived such a long and productive life.

I think I'm going to re-read Planet of Adventure now.

The work of Jack Vance has had a huge influence on me and my work. I am sad to hear of his passing. I think I am going to pull out the Dying Earth Omnibus tonight and give it a read.

Sorry to hear : ( Jack Vance was truly an influence that impacted many generations. My condoleances to all his friends and family.

How did he die? Just congestive heart failure or something?

RIP. The world was a richer place for his writings and is a poorer place with his passing.

Farewell Jack, and thanks.

The Brave Free Men, one of the only fantasy / sci-fi crossovers that I found utterly rivetting and terrifying! Especially the second book...eesh
