He possessed a guinea-pig called Schopenhauer.

    First published in 1965 in the United States in hardback by Doubleday
    First published in 1966 in Great Britain in hardback with dustjacket by Dennis Dobson

Storyline: The object had arrived without warning, tearing a spiral path of devastation across the rural landscape. After the explosion, searchers sifted through the immense pile of rubble and death- to discover a fantastically instrumented capsule, and a strangely human pilot, stone dead. Bowden Karvel's theory, that the capsule's port was a location in the distant future, seemed most plausible; but in an attempt to investigate, the capsule was accidentally dispatched again through time...only to reappear with an alien navigator, this time destroying a small French town.
One thing seemed imperative - that a human operator must man the intricate controls of the capsule, riding it forward to its mysterious point of origin. But Bowden Karvel found that the solution posed some intriguing problems...as he visited a strange society of competitive cities in the distant future and was hurtled back through time, to meet an alien colony stranded in the prehistoric Age of Reptiles

Storyline: On the world of Branoff IV, in the lovely land of Scorvif, live the Rascz, an industrious, artistic and highly civilised race. Few of them are aware that their prosperous civilisation is totally dependent on the Olz, a race of slaves owned by their god-emperor. The Olz till the fields and work the forests and mines, but their reward is starvation and the vicious discipline of the whip. Cultural Survey trainee Cedd Farrari takes up a routine post at the Interplanetary Relations Bureau observing Branoff IV. He is shocked by the plight of the Olz and dedicates himself to their liberation. But to achieve this he must become one of them, sharing their misery, until he finds himself leading the Olz in a bizarre rebellion.

    First published in 1972 in the United States in hardback by Doubleday & Co.
    First published in 1974 in Great Britain in hardback by Elmfield Press as Morley Books (ISBN 0705700380). Dustjacket Design by Josh Kirby

Storyline: Art and politics rarely co-exist without friction-except on Donov, a planet devoted to artists who paint souvenir pictures of Donov's remarkable light effects for sale to tourists, whom the government encourages to the extent of having transformed the whole planet into a multi-million pound resort. But disorder is rife on the outer planets of the galaxy where animaloids-non human life forms-are demanding rejection of the arbitrary classification of themselves as inferior to humans. The possibility that the animaloid minds might actually be superior is never entertained-until a leading art critic receives a brilliant painting from a mysterious source on Donov and discovers that it may be the work of a non-human intelligence. This very real moral problem forms the basis of a thrilling science-fiction story.
