I knew Budd was ill. He crossed over yesterday.
Here's the story:

I've read almost all of Budd's books and look forward to reading his last one:

Budd takes a negative view of what alien abductions are about. He and Temple University researcher David Jacobs share that view, which can be summarized by saying that an alien civilization is manipulating our genetic makeup and creating a new being.
Imagine being both a published author AND artist of acclaim. Truly a Renaissance man.
Off to your next adventure, Budd! Your job on earth was done well and we are in your debt for how you advanced the knowledge of this phenomena.
