I've just heard that Aaron Allston, author of fifteen SW novels, has passed away due to what they believe to be massive heart failure yesterday at VisionCon in Springfield, Missouri.

Allston, who wrote novels for the X-Wing, Legacy of the Force, and Fate of the Jedi series, was one of my heros in the many that make up the group of Star Wars novelists. He will be missed by the entire Star Wars community, I'm sure. My prayers are with his friends and family in this time.
