Author Jerry Pournelle has died. On Sept. 8th.

The only book of his I read was Footfall, written with Larry Niven, as were several other novels.

I was in a freedom-challenged period of my life.

That novel was a great escape.

Loved that novel. Intertwining stories and easter eggs for sci-fi enthusiasts. Everyone should know who the scientist with a head like a bullet and a razor mustache was.

Sorry to hear about Pournelle's passing.
