He will be mythed!

[Lazarus]

Robert Asprin the writer of the Myth series, the Phule series, and co-editor/creator of the Thieves World series passed away a couple of days ago. He was found by a fellow SCA member when he was to be picked up to visit a convention. He apparently died peacefully with a sci-fi novel on his lap.

I think I have only one of my favourite authors left amongst the living :(

I read the Myth and Phule's Company series. Great reads and funny as hell. I recommend them to anyone who enjoys a good laugh while reading.

ok now I'm majorly depressed. I loved his stories. This has been a bad year for losing great minds. 3 great Sci Fi authors and Gary Gygax :(

Yes, I heard about this on Friday. Here is a link (http://www.mythadventures.net/)to his web site for anyone who may be interested.

I became a fan of his with the first of the "Theives World" books.

I loved the thieves World series...I usually base most of my char names from either tempus or enasyorl.

It's very upsetting that we keep losing such great minds.

His love of the absurd is what i enjoyed most about both the Phule and Myth series. When I need something light to read I can count on his books to make me smile.

Yeah, that is really a shame. I guess it should have ocurred to me that he was getting up there in age. I was a huge fan of the Myth series though it definitely lost a lot of steam after Mythnomers and Impervections.... Really sad that the Myth series kinda of just fizzled out... Certianly not quite as frustrating as Robert Jordan's untimely passing.
