RIP Jim DeGriz. You couldn't swindle the ultimate swindler.

I think I spoke briefly with him once, in 1990, at the WSFC in The Hague.

I liked several of his books, especially the Pyrrhus series.

Moonhead loves his stuff. He thinks "satirist" is a bit unfair though, as a lot of what Harrison did was as serious as sci fi ever gets.
