The Last Starship from Earth (1968): Years ago, Fairweather I, universally acknowledged as the greatest mathematician since Einstein, had completely altered the whole nature of society. The Pope became a solid state computer, Hell a distant planet, and mates were now to be selected by the State, according to strict scientific principles. In this ultra-rational society, mathematicians do not write poetry, or fall in love with poets, and, most specifically, Haldane IV, a young mathematician, couldn’t possibly marry Helix, the poet of his choice. When Haldane and Helix uncover the long-hidden poems of Fairweather I, tha verses seem to hold an important message. But the more the two of them explore, the greater becomes the danger. And if they are caught, they will be sentenced to exile, on the planet Hell…
The Pollinators of Eden (1969): Dr. Freda Caron, blond and beautiful, had waited in vain for her fiance to disembark from Project Abie’s recently returned starship. But Paul had unaccountably requested an extended tour of duty on "The Planet of Flowers" and, in his stead, he had sent an assistant, Hal Polino, with a verbal message and an exquisitely iridescent yellow tulip that not only had a plastic memory—but could talk! Freda soon realized she must unlock the secrets of the flower planet, and its strange hold on Paul…

The Gorgon Festival (1972): Was the youth elixir the panacea that mankind dreamed of–or a bitter and ironic joke? To Alexander Ward, his discovery could have meant fame, wealth, the Nobel Prize. But his 70-year-old lab assistant stole it and turned herself into a teen-age sex kitten, a nursing home into a brothel–and the world into a madhouse.
Andromeda Gun (1974): G-7, emissary of an alien race of energy-beings, is sent to earth to explore for energy sources his race needs. But when G-7 takes over the body of Johnny McCloud something happens–instead of exercising total control, G-7 is changed, involved in McClouds personality and emotions. And Johnny McCloud, the amoral gunfighter, is changed too. This is the story of a strange symbiosis of man and alien, and of crucial events upon which the future history of Earth depends. Johnny McCloud/G-7, the symbiote, can change Earth’s history!
