The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association reports that Jerry Pournelle died on September 8 at age 84. The article didn't list the cause of death.
He was the first winner of the "Best New Writer" category of the Campbell award, and was a former president of the SFWA, a writer's guild.
I thought his best stuff was his Niven collaborations, like A Mote in God's Eye. What was your favorite?

If I had to choose a favorite, I may have to go with Bradley13, and 'There will be war'. That, or 'Go Tell the Spartans'.
Pournelle has been a mainstay in Sci-Fi for a long time. He will be missed.
Oh, he was a Cajun, from Shreveport. Those Cajuns, Creoles, Coonasses, and assorted swamp people get into everything, don't they?
