I read all of his Riverworld books one summer in Venezuela, I loved his Venus on the Half Shell, I picked up his 'biographies' of Tarzan and Doc Savage a few years back.

He was one of the good ones.

Riverworld is and will always be a classic.A writer
who definitely should have got a lot more recognition
than he did.Truly a master from the golden age of
Sci/Fi.

I don't even KNOW anymore.

His Image of the Beast was one of the wierdest books I've ever read.
