Craig Thomas, most known for his 1977 novel Firefox, made into the movie starring Clint Eastwood, passed away on April 4th, 2011 following a bout of pneumonia.
Firefox was Thomas' second published novel and was a huge bestseller in the UK and United States. The royalties from that novel allowed him to turn to writing full-time and over the next 20 years, he wrote 16 more novels, many of them bestsellers in their own right.
