Let's make this birthday one to remember.

92 years old (Born on February 14, 1933)

Happy birthday to Robert Shea, the grand wizard behind "Illuminatus!" and a novelist who conjured epic adventures from secret societies, samurai warriors, knights in shining armor, and mysterious realms. Your literary magic has fueled countless conspiracy theories—and given readers irresistible tales filled with wit and wonder.

Whether unveiling ancient mysteries in "All Things Are Lights," marching bravely into battle with your gripping tale "Shike," or captivating readers through exotic lands in "The Saracen," your imaginative worlds continue enthralling generations. You've illuminated hearts (and minds!) along the way.

Here's wishing you another fantastic year of uncovering secrets—or cleverly inventing them!
