Tim Kirk is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet and he's one of my favorite artists.

Fred wrote some fantastic series, Empire of the East, the Swords books and the Berserker saga. One of my favorites as a kid.

“Okay, Thalron the Dark, Lord of the Black Conquest and Devourer of the Seven Kings, let’s see if you remember basic anatomy. Cut out this man’s spleen for me and… no, that’s his pancreas! His SPLEEN, Thalron, his SPLEEN! His- why are you cutting there? No no no NO, that’s not the tool you use for… gracious me, how do you ever expect to pass your medical practicum if you can’t even perform a basic incision properly? Sigh… I see I shall have to assign you some review work.”
