Author and editor Eric Flint is in recovery from recent surgery
Quote:
We have just learned via Teleread that noted author Eric Flint has recently undergone heart bypass surgery last week. Recent reports from Baen's Bar - login required - are very optimistic suggesting a smooth recovery is in the works.

Eric Flint is the creator and main author of the 163* series and editor of its offshoot magazine Grantville Gazette which form an unique collaborative phenomenon in current sf. He also writes for Jim Baen's Universe and leads a vigorous campaign to enlighten people on the benefits of drm-free electronic publishing. His collaboration with David Weber in the Honor Harrington universe led to Mr. Weber sparing Honor's life in At All Costs the novel that was supposed to end the first part of the series and his next HH novel Torch of Freedom (Nov. 09, Baen) will be the first HH novel to be reviewed here preceded by a full series overview.

We wish Mr. Flint a speedy recovery and a return to full health.

I don't read his type of science fiction, but I certainly do wish him a speedy recovery.

I echo what Zelda said about his copyright work (and she put me on to those particular and opinion changing essays). Seen people go through this and he should get through fine, and feel a hundred percent better afterwards. Best of luck to Eric and here's hoping for a speedy recovery

I felt instantly better after I had my stent put in my cardiac artery. Now I just have to find a way to pay the hospital bills.

Many of you above referred to this, but for those who don't know Eric's body of work.

As the 'editor' of Baen's free library, he has been one of the earliest and most vocal proponents of DRM-free ebooks, and is one of the driving forces behind the marketing concept of providing free back-list books in order to hook future customers. See:
http://www.baen.com/library/

for over seventy free books.

I nobly resist the urge to correct your usage of 'less', given the quality of your sentiment.

I was tuckerised in Eric Flint's book "Time Spike". If you've read it the character with my name is nothing like me at all.
I like lots of his books so I'm hoping he recovers quickly and writes many more.
