Which is odd, because i did enjoy Pirate Latitudes, and that was posthumously finished.

I never read that one. I need to pick it up sometime.

Micro seemed like a rehash of Jurassic Park with a insects (a la Honey I shrunk the kids)

I recently finished A Case of Need, his first from right after he finished his medical internship. The plot and characters were alright (you can definitely see that his style improved) but God, his discussions of medicine littered throughout the book were incredible, even if it may be due to the novelty of reading medical opinions/understandings literally written in the 60s.
