Overview: Edmund Cooper was born in Cheshire in 1926. He served in the Merchant navy towards the end of the Second World War and trained as a teacher after its end. He began to publish SF stories in 1951 and produced a considerable amount of short fiction throughout the ‘50s, moving on, by the end of that decade, to the novels for which he is chiefly remembered. His works displayed perhaps a bleaker view of the future than many of his contemporaries’, frequently utilising post-apocalyptic settings. In addition to writing novels, Edmund Cooper reviewed science fiction for the Sunday Times from 1967 until his death in 1982.
Genre: Science Fiction
News From Elsewhere
Elsewhere where a group of ‘superior’ scientists from Earth are unwittingly the playthings of the enlightened ones, where, on Judgement Day, selected millions of people begin to drop like flies… and where the Lizard of Woz, off on a brief terrestrial tour, most unfortunately falls in love with the most sylph-like, the most radiantly beautiful female he has ever seen; a Komodo dragon christened Kanna-Belle.
Five To Twelve
The twenty-first century is drawing to an end. Earth’s social structure has undergone a complete reversal – women dominate society and men have been reduced to the status of manipulated objects.
Into this world comes Dion Quern, a self-styled troubadour who refuses to conform to the social norm. But he discovers that women are superior to men in both bodily strength and number. And how can one man hope to change a whole society?
Prisoner of Fire
Vanessa Smith looked like any normal seventeen year old girl. But Vanessa wasn’t normal at all.
She possessed extraordinary telepathic powers – and in the 1990s telepathy was the ultimate weapon in psychological warfare. Vanessa, along with other gifted children, was virtually a prisoner at Random Hill Residential School, developing her abilities for Government exploitation.
So when she escaped, Vanessa became a political embarrassment. Questions were asked by the Opposition. It was vital for the Prime Minister, the ruthlessly dictatorial Sir Joseph Humbolt, that everything that marked Vanessa’s existence should be erased. And orders were given that she should be hunted down – using telepaths like herself – and destroyed.
The Tenth Planet
Minerva…The Tenth Planet.
So distant, the Sun is just another star, cold and dim…
Earth had finally succumbed to nuclear horror. Refugees of the holocaust fled beyond the bounds even of Pluto’s orbit—to Sol’s Tenth Planet. Grief-stricken at Earth’s fate, they have also fled the adventurous spirit which at once was Earth’s pride and her downfall.
But their static existence under a benevolent dictatorship was about to end for the Minervans. Miraculously, from 50 centuries in the past, comes a man whose bold and daring spirit threatens to lay their very civilization on the rack of rebellion.

All Fools’ Day
Summer 1971. A marvellous spell of weather, idyllic in its warmth. But new sun-spots had appeared; and with their appearance came a significant increase in the suicide rate. The wonderful summer continued for a decade: simultaneously Radiant Suicide reached endemic proportions, the only people to escape its effects being the supposed transnormals, the obsessionals, the eccentrics and the psychopaths. These were to be the only remnants of the ancient ‘homo sapiens’…
