Hate to agree considering that he's my uncle, but I never found his works too readible. Apparently was a nice guy but his work seems to have been mostly science fantasy as opposed to science
fiction.
Only met him and his wife C. L. Moore a few times mostly during the 1950's. He was my father's youngest brother.
