A "good" writer?<G>
Don't know. It's just that I think most of his work is entirely
unrelated to sci-fi, and even most of his "sci-fi" stories are somewhat
incidentally sci-fi. As Darren would put it, you could take (most of)
those stories, remove the sci-fi elements, and the story is still more
or less the same. The science aspect was not important in most of his
stories.
