        :( The stuff he wrote with Larry Niven was epic (c.f., Lucifer's Hammer).

        It was the combination of the word "Houston", the coming asteroid, and the actual (nigh biblical) rain in Houston that nudged me to it.

        He was great; to me, his books and essays were like the Krell Mind Machine from Forbidden Planet:)
