Science fiction author Jeffrey A. Carver (1949-2026) passed away on February 6. Locus Online is reporting that he had been in a coma after suffering several strokes following a lung transplant last year.

Carver wrote space opera, notably the Star Rigger series and the Chaos Chronicles as well as a handful of stand-alone novels, such as The Infinity Liink.

It’s been a number of years since I read any of his work. I read Star Rigger’s Way and enjoyed it. The series is on my list to obtain and read.  Caver’s short fiction was collected in Reality and Other Fictions and Going Alien.
