One of the greatest names in science fiction, Jack Williamson, died yesterday in his study, surrounded by friends and family. Born in 1908, his first story was published when he was just 20 and his most recent novel was published last year, in 2005. He gave us the terms "terraforming" and "genetic engineering". Over his 98 years he published 43 novels and countless short stories.
