The Dueling Machine, The Weather Makers, Orion, and a zillion other great stories.
KINSMAN. Editor, anthologizer, and writer of Fiction and non-fiction. One of the greats of his age. https://www.fantasticfiction.com/b/ben-bova/ But I will always remember him for the short short MEN OF GOOD WILL. Sheer perfection. Last edited by fjtorres; 12-03-2020 at 06:29 PM. |

I just love his “Grand Tour” series. I think, though, I have read just about everything he wrote. What a loss!!

Great SF author.
I'm sure I've read some out of the library and lost some on one move between countries. Still have 12 paper editions. |
