Science fiction author Jerry Pournelle died yesterday, at age 84. Jerry wrote and anthologized military-themed science fiction. His most well-known collaboration was with Larry Niven.
Over the years I read a bunch of Jerry's work, and enjoyed it. His politics were somewhat like my own. He will be missed. Hat tip to Instapundit for reposting Jerry's last blog.
Later ... Sci fi author Sarah Hoyt, who interacted with Pournelle over a period of years, has written a longer, more nuanced fond remembrance you might enjoy.
Later still ... Instapundit Glenn Reynolds weighs in with a solid obit placing Pournelle in a historical context, for USA Today.
