Very sad, but a full life lived. The Emperor is an amazing, amazing book, not least because of its subtle but perfect critique of absolute control while stuck working for a repressive regime in turn.

He was a really great writer. Another Day of Life totally blew me away. I'll raise a glass for him.

I liked Imperium especially, but all of his books were worth reading. RIP.

Oh, I only read one of his books, In the Shadow of the Sun, but it was so good. Shame.
