ODYSSEY TO EARTHDEATH

Belmont paperback, November 1968. Cover artist uncredited.

"Psych-Sickness is the term they used when a citizen of cityside rebelled against the wholesale manufacture of death...Against the fact-clock which voiced the conquer-kill count each minute...Against the daily launching of bio-bombs into Landsend, to "keep the peace." strangely, not one citizen of cityside had been killed by a Landsender. But the citysiders were being lost in droves to psych-sickness. Circus was the answer. The plan of the brutal Supreme Priestman Pume was to alleviate the Psych-Sickness. Or did he intend to create a greater evil?"

MINDMIX

Coronet SF paperback, 1973. Cover by Chris Foss.

"He was a man - but they changed him into a guinea pig. 
The world is dying. A disease more terrible than cancer ravages its populace. Scientists struggle when people die in their thousands. There is no known cure. 
Pete Bratton was a simple man. A drifter who let life nudge him from one day to the next. A nowhere man in a world of pre-destination and disease. A man who should have died, but who survived the terror of Virus Y and became a phenomenon. A human guinea pig for eager scientists to store the ideology of a dying civilization by memory transfer. 
But what of the real Pete Bratton strapped of his rights as a few individual and strapped to an operating table for the cause of science? 
And what of his own mind as it slowly dissolves into a jumble of conflicting ideas and personalities?"
