I admit I haven't read much of David Drake's work. I started one of his books years ago--I think it was Redliners--but just couldn't get into it. I abandoned it and never tried his stuff again.
Nevertheless, Drake was an important part of the science fiction scene, particularly the mil-SF part. There's no denying his popularity, and he'll be missed.
And perhaps I'll give another of his books a chance some day. It's not really fair, after all, to judge an author by only one of that author's books.
But even though I'm not yet a fan, there are certainly plenty of others who are, and I sympathize with them now. Drake was a big name, and his absence leaves a big hole.
R.I.P., man.
