At least the impressive HARD LANDING and the brilliant ROGUE
MOON
(later republished under his preferred title THE DEATH
MACHINE), a Gold Medal original as were several of his
others, qualify, as would, I'd suggest, his weakest novel
I've read (and usually cited as such by others), MAN OF
EARTH. WHO? is a metaphorical suspense/near-future sf as is
MICHAELMAS. I have yet to read the other early novels or the
mid- career THE IRON THORN (which Gold Medal retitled THE
AMSIRS AND THE IRON THORN...was GM always so meddlesome with
titles?), but his short fiction is often relevant here,
including such straightforward suspense fiction as "The
Master of the Hounds."
