RIP.

Vinge's "Peace War" trilogy (or whatever you call it) was read by me
after a former frequenter of rasw, ?Greg? (the Vancouver government
bureaucrat), talked about it. Now, in Vinge's honor, the trilogy will be
heard by me next as soon as my _Martian Time-Slip_ (PKD) audio book
wraps up.

Danke,
