I realize that this is OSC's board, but I've just seen on the news that Poul Anderson, one of the founding greats of Sceince fiction and heroic fantasy has died!

I suggest everyone go out and read one of his books or short stories. He was a true master.

Also, all writers should read his essay http://www.sfwa.org/writing/thud.htm -- a great, distilled version of his decades of experience.
