major_clangerHarry Harrison has died.
His books were a core part of my early sf reading and I have fond memories of them. It's hard to pick a favourite; Bill the Galactic Hero is a superb satire, but Spaceship Medic was a great introduction to hard SF. I only met him in person once, at a launch party at Forbidden Planet, although he was on programme at several conventions I attended.
