Topic: Aaron Allston passes away at 53

http://www.theforce.net/story/front/Aut … 156868.asp

I don't mind saying that while Harold Ramis' death earlier this week was a larger blow to the world in general, Allston was a much more direct influence on me. The X-wing books are probably my favorite of the Star Wars novels, and the series wouldn't be the same without Wraith Squadron. 2012's X-wing: Mercy Kill did a great job as a sort of epilogue to that series. And I'm starting to work my way through New Jedi order again, of which he wrote a couple.

This week sucks. Ramis at 69, Allston at 53. Please everybody else get through this week sad

Oh man that sucks, I always loved the X-wing books I read, I've been meaning to get the rest as E-books for old times sake
