Scifi author spoils his entire book series for terminally ill fan

This is both heart-rending and wonderful. Nachu Bhatnagar is a huge fan of author Harry Turtledove's The War That Came Early alternate history novels. Sadly, Nachu also suffers from terminal cancer and may pass away this June.

...

What happened next is pretty amazing. Nachu received an advance copy of Turtledove's next novel, which hits stores in July. The author also agreed to spoil the entire War series in a phone call (or possible face-to-face meeting) with Nachu...

Wow.

Major props for Turtledove.

That's pretty classy.

I seem to recall Stephen King got a few similar requests before The Dark Tower came out, and had to say no because he himself didn't know yet how it would end.
