    Cult author J.G. Ballard has died following a longrunning battle with ill health. He was 78.
    The novelist, most famous for writing Crash and Empire of the Sun on which the 1987 movie was based, passed away on Sunday.
    His agent, Margaret Hanbury, confirmed his death, stating Ballard had been ill "for several years".
    Empire of the Sun was his most revered work, based on his childhood in a Japanese prison camp in China.
    He penned 15 novels and a selection of short stories throughout his career, which started when he moved to Britain from Shanghai, China in the 1960s.

    RIP

    An amazing writer - shame to hear he has died. R.I.P

    I must get another copy of 'War Fever' now that I think of it.
