Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on December 19, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Theodore Judson! May your day be brighter than the futuristic worlds you've crafted and more delightful than Fitzpatrick's ambitious schemes. Your novels like "Tom Wedderburn’s Life" and "Hell Can Wait" have taken readers on unforgettable journeys—proving that imagination truly has no limits.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater adventures (and fewer Martian generals causing trouble). Keep inspiring us with stories filled with wit, wisdom, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. After all, if anyone knows how to handle a sultan or an emissary gracefully—and humorously—it’s definitely you!

Cheers to another timeless chapter ahead!
