One of the first of the new wave military SF authors. Good writer, good guy.
He'll be missed.

That sucks. I had the opportunity to speak with him about 10 years ago. I wish his family well, his early works had a significant impact on my decision to join the combat arms branch.
RIP. One of the founders of hard style Military Science Fiction. His stuff always had a weight to it that other authors don't convey. Guns got blisteringly hot, recoil left bruises on cheeks and muzzle blast was earsplitting.
