How does he feel about “Vector Prime” and the Chewbacca drama no longer being canon? Also, I love all his books including VP and want to thank him for novels that helped me through my teenage years.
How the hell does he write such amazingly engaging characters! Personalities, back stories, mannerisms, all dragging us in to the story, immersing readers completely, leaving us massively invested in the characters and therefor, in sequels. As a new author myself, this is the biggest struggle I feel, bring emotional investment from the reader into your characters.
Question from Keith via Twitter:
Is bob surprised and/or disappointed when fans read his Twitter feed and get very upset that their politics do not match his or upon reflection the books they read and then turn nasty.

Does Dungeons and Dragons factor into his writing? Often times when I’m reading, I feel like his books are just a narrated version of a gaming session, especially during battle/fight scenes.
