RIP David Feintuch, 1944-2006

Just learned today in the course of a casual search that David Feintuch died last week, on March 16th. He's a SF author who's published nine books, in two series (one SF, one Fantasy).

I've only read the SF series, called the Seafort Saga. ( Minor spoilers behind the cut... )

There is another thing worthy of note about this author. David Feintuch won the 1996 John W. Campbell award for Best New Writer (in SF). He was 50 when his first novel was published. That should give hope to all of us who think our time has passed because we're getting older with nothing significant to show for it.

Here's to you, man, rest in peace.
