That sucks. I liked most of his books, and was looking forward to more hits from him. RIP.

An article on the news says he had been battling cancer for some time, but kept it secret. I guess not too many people knew his health was so poor.

I did a double-take when I read the heading. Can't believe he's gone. I liked a lot of his work, too, and am going to miss looking for new stuff. Sad news...

I read a few of his books,prey being the most recent i read which was quite good!

And even those of you who never read one of his books must have seen "westworld" with yul brynner as the malfunctioning evil robot cowboy!

Totally badass poster!

I always guessed Yul Brynner was probably sporting something extra in his pants; who'd have thought it was a mission-control room.

Don't know too much of his work, but what I do know was awesome. It's shame he went out this early...

I think that'll always be my favorite of his books too. A real classic.
