As if life couldn't get any uglier today, James P. Hogan, the science fiction author who I enjoyed most as a teenager, announced today that he supports Holocaust Revionism. Not just David Irving's right to speak (Irving was recently sentenced to three years in prison for his Holocaust Revisionist historical writings), but support for the actual "research program" that questions whether or not the Holocaust ever happened and purports to refute the claim that the actual death toll was in "the millions."

Not even the German soldiers on trial at Nuremburg tried to claim that.

Hogan is the canonical currently living example of the the Brain Eater syndrom. The Giants trilogy is the illustrative work of it.

He actaully believes in the Velovsky garbage...

I've thought of Hogan as a writer of PSF: pseudoscience fiction.
