As a fan of sci-fi I've never been impressed with a lot of his work.
Maybe its just that Rama seires left such an awful taste in my mouth, but it started out a good one and turned, rapidly, into the most preachy piece of crap I ever read.
Of course hes not the only one guilty of that, Orson Scott Card, and Frederik Pohl did almost exactly the same thing, perhaps its just the nature of the trade, you have a great idea and story and they keep paying you long after you run out of ideas for it.
Despite not being a fan of his work, I'll miss him as an icon, its rather sobering that just about everyone I've extensively read is now dead.
