So I hear that Brian Aldiss died early on Saturday, a sad day for me. He was one of my favourites of the old-time sci-fi authors. I still own every book that I ever bought, and there are many Aldiss books in that collection.

In fact, of the few books I actually have with me right now in the Czech Republic, 3 of them are Aldiss's Helliconia trilogy, a set of books I have already read some 4 or 5 times now.

Helliconia was truly remarkable.

The first book of his I read was Non-Stop. It truly fascinated me at the time. I re-read it many years later and thoroughly enjoyed it all over again.

Indeed,in fact I was planning on working through them again soon.

Read all his books and loved them. I too remember Non Stop as an early read. His autobiography is well worth reading.

Never even heard of him. Well, I'll have to remedy that. The Helliconia Trilogy is only $4.00 in the Kindle edition, so I'll start there. Nonstop is $10.49 so it will wait a couple of weeks. Thanks for the mention, but sorry about the circumstances.

Non stop was one of the very earliest generation ship novels.
