I worked with Jim for over 20 years on many projects and I'm going
to miss him -- as will the field.
Jim's gift was he knew what he liked and that his readers would
like it, too. Jim knew there was an audiece for military sf long
before anyone else in the field. And, he wasn't afraid to put his
publishing muscle where it would do the most good.
He published a few clinkers, but for the most part you knew if you
bought a Baen book it was going to be a good read. At worst, an
interesting one!
One of the luminaries of the SF sky has gone out this week and our
world will be a little less bright. Jim Baen, RIP.
