Vinge is certainly one of the greats but so is David Brin. I would not consider him under the radar though. Some of his best are Earth, The Heart of The Comet, Glory Season.
- throw1234651234 2y agoI don't know Brin at all, my first thought was "Sergey?!" - will check out his books and appreciate the recommendation.
- selimthegrim 2y agoBrin has a post on his FB wall mourning Vinge.
- bosquefrio 2y agoI believe they were friends. Brin mentioned that he hung out with Vinge a few weeks ago.
- webmaven 2y ago"The Heart of the Comet" was co-authored with Gregory Benford. It is one of my favorite books, and I wish they would collaborate again. Incidentally, Brin and Benford along with Greg Bear, are collectively known as the "Killer Bs". Practically everything written by any of the three is likely to be a great read.
