Damn it.

Just found out John Steakley died on Saturday.

For those not familiar, Steakley wrote Vampire$ and Armor, and was working on Armor 2.

Personally, I consider Armor to be some of the best science fiction I've ever read, and was eagerly awaiting him to finish the sequel

I read Armor in the eighties. It was awesome. I'm sorry to hear of his death.

Added: Looking at his website I find that I also read "The Swordsman Smada" years ago. Wish he had written more.

My dad bought a Caprice Classic from Steakley's dad's Chevrolet dealership back in 1978 :)
