THE STONE THAT NEVER CAME DOWN

NEL paperback, 1978. Cover artist uncredited.

"Europe in the twenty-first century is a stricken continent. 
Cities crumble with neglect. Governments topple to military coups. Bands of 'godheads' roam the streets armed with plastic crosses. Soon war is bound to break out, and then the world will take the final step towards suicide. 
But one man may just have the answer - VC - a new kind of viral drug which has the power to alter drastically, and permanently, the human mind. He knows it will prevent Man's self-destruction, but is it safe? And does he have the right to take that decision - a decision that will change the destiny of Mankind, by changing the very nature of Man himself."

ENTRY TO ELSEWHEN

DAW paperback, 1972. Cover by Jack Gaughan.

"The generation born and raised within the first starship seemed increasingly strange to the Earth-born crew, their own parents. There was a growing gap between them, an alienation none of the psychological planners had provided for. 
When the vast ship reached its destination, the crisis came to a head. Then, for the first time, the great schemes and dreams of Earth to colonize the universe were confronted by the reality of humans whose natural habitat was interstellar space only. They, too, had their dreams - and they were not of planets. 
John Brunner, one of the great masters of science fiction and winner of honors and awards on two continents, makes this just one of the three unusual science fiction themes in his new book."
