Default Vonda McIntyre RIP

And no, this isn't an April Fools joke. Vonda McIntyre, a seriously good sci-fi author died on 1st April. Her best work, in my opinion, was Dreamsnake, however, she wrote lots of other good things.

RIP.

I've never read her, but I will add Dreamsnake to the reading list.

I've read many of her works, she seemed to me to style herself a lot after Heinlein, and I mean that as a huge compliment. Rest in peace.

Her Star Wars Novel was one of the weakest Star Wars novels I've read, although it did contain some very good ideas, sorry.

May she rest in peace.
