filkertomGreat sadness, as another giant has passed. Author Harry Harrison has passed away at the age of 87. Condolences to his family and friends.
Harrison gave us the now-universally-known Soylent Green in Make Room! Make Room! He created Slippery Jim DeGriz (The Stainless Steel Rat) and Bill the Galactic Hero. He wrote an excellent early steampunk novel (A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah!). He wrote of Eden and Deathworld and much, much more. He cranked out a hell of a lot of work, and it was all damn good fun. Thank you, sir -- you will be missed.
