It's unfortunate that wherever I see this news, it mentions that Foster is the author of Star Wars and Aliens novelizations and some original books in those universes, but there's not a word about his other science fiction works, nor of the Humanx Commonwealth setting uniting most of them. Which is a shame - so many excellent books there, between author's rather wild imagination and talent to put it into words. "Midworld" and "Sentenced to Prism" are two particularly notable examples.
