FMJRA 2.0: Farewell To A Master

Posted on | November 21, 2021 | Comments Off on FMJRA 2.0: Farewell To A Master

A tribute to a master by his fellow masters.

I rarely cross the streams like this, but it seems important to note that one of the great SF and fantasy writers of my generation is hanging up the keyboard. David Drake, who I have been reading since my high school days fifty years ago when the late Jim Baen published “Under The Hammer” in Galaxy magazine, has been having some issues lately with concentration, and it’s gotten to the point where it’s impossible for him to write novels any more. So he’s calling it a career. Hopefully he’ll visit a few conventions in his retirement and enjoy some much-deserved adulation from his fans. So, in lieu of the usual musical reference and link, I’ll be posting links to a few of my favorite Drake books; the teaser pic this week is from a tribute anthology by Baen published in 2015, full of excellent stories by Larry Corriea, Sarah Hoyt, and others, along with appreciations by (among others) S.M. Stirling and Toni Weisskopf.
