    I knew him, as a kid, for "The Lost Race of Mars." (He really should
    have set that in the 22nd century, IMO. Or the 23rd.) He also wrote a
    lot of nonfiction, for those who don't know.

    What I posted on his 80th birthday:

    Excerpt:

    "The Great Doctors" (nonfiction) is still intriguing even today, IMO.
    That's where I found out that the myth of the medical demigod Asclepius
    may have been based on a real man from circa 1400 B.C.!
