Jim Baen, RiP

[lagilman]

The founder, publisher, and general God-Owner of Baen Books. Not unexpected (he had a major stroke and was in a coma) but the passing of an age. Whatever your personal feelings about the man, stand and show respect...

I did two books and a bunch of anthology stories with Jim. We always got along. I will miss him.

At the same time, I'm relieved for his sake that he didn't linger with such a terrible insult to mind and body as that stroke.
