Young Laurie hears the voices, but he doesn't understand. Why? Who? Is there any connection with the ghost he saw this morning? 

Only years later, when he has grown up, does he find the answers - and then it's almost too late. As a U.N. narcotics security agent, he investigates the case of a girl addicted to a drug which enables her to teleport objects.

CLONE

Pan Science Fiction paperback, 1981. Cover by Ian Pollock.

"Alvin isn't very clever and his ears stick out. But despite all that, he's a very important person. Or rather, a very important quarter of a person. Or even four people. It's all very confusing being a clone... 

It all started when he was kidnapped by the universal anthropoid brotherhood just after the marble arch massacre. They aren't aware of his amazing telepathic powers yet - but other sinister government agencies are... 

Will Norbert the Chimpanzee, Alvin's valuable friend and advisor, and the lesbian professor poynter find him before they do? Or will Alvin discover his powers and, in between dreaming about the luscious Cheryl, spread his wings a little deep beneath Pall Mall...?"

KULDESAK

Orbit paperback, 1976. Cover artwork by Chris Achilleos.

"Earth, 2000 years after the final holocaust which drove man deep underground; a ghostly, deserted planet peopled only by the diligent robots who, century after century, silently harvest grain which no man will eat. 

Up into this eerie world comes Mel, a questioning young roamer who has disobeyed the Law which says he must never venture into or beyond the Lost Levels. Together with three companions, and a companion not of this Earth, Mel takes on the awesome task of freeing human beings from the tyranny imposed on them by their remote ancestors; of justifying the agonized cry of Barney as he died in a Forbidden Level: 'I am a man! Everything is for man!'"
