I stopped reading his stuff a while ago, but I am still saddened by this loss.
I remember really looking forward to his works in the '90s, eagerly reading the books to see where characters we'd met before would turn up, and counting the various plot threads and wondering how he was going to connect them all.
Once Ryan became President, I started to lose interest, and once he was out of office, I eventually quit.
I honor his creativity-- while some say he repeated cliches in every book, many bits of his plots were quite original.
