Bedlam Planet by John Brunner Ace Books (1975) Imagine we find a planet that could be a second Earth and we send people there. It's fertile so that they can grow crops and there seem to be no dangerous wild animals or native inhabitants. But the Earthpeople face problems. There may be a lot more to a planetary ecology than they realize. This one is from 1968 and reflects the growing concern about ecology of the late '60s which has continued to today.

The Dreaming Earth by John Brunner Pyramid Books (1974) A revision of Put Down This Earth (1962). A daring novel of humankind's strange and startling destiny. Here is a novel to equal Arthur Clarke's Childhood's End. It tells with frightening clarity of a desperately stricken earth-wracked by overpopulation and plagued by famine and despair. It tells, too, of a new breed of men and women--21st century lotus eaters caught up in a mysterious euphoria which will ultimately threaten all life on this planet; the drug-induced world of "happy dreams." Do these "happy dreamers" herald the end of the human species--or the next extraordinary step in the evolution of humanity? The cover artist is Jack Gaughan. .

Polymath by John Brunner DAW Books (1976) Colonizing a new planet requires much more than just settling on a newly discovered island of Old Earth. New planets were different in thousands of ways, different from Earth and from each other. Any of those differences could mean death and disaster to a human settlement. When a ship filled with refugees from a cosmic catastrophe crash-landed on such an unmapped world, their outlook was precarious. Their ship was lost, salvage had been minor, and everything came to depend on one bright young man accidentally among them. He was a trainee planet-builder. It would have been his job to foresee all the problems necessary to set up a safe home for humanity. But the problem was that he was a mere student, and he had been studying the wrong planet.

Times Without Number by John Brunner Ballantine Books (1983) Don Miguel Navarro is a man with a most unusual job. As a Licentiate of the Society of Time, he is a time traveling agent for a Spanish Empire that continues to thrive four hundred years after the Armada successfully conquered England in 1588. Tasked with observing the past, he is always on the lookout for improper uses of time travel lest it bring about changes to the present. A casual encounter at a party results in just such a discovery, one that leads Don Miguel to a sinister conspiracy that threatens to alter history and undo the entire empire itself unless it is stopped. John Brunner's novel is a cut above most of its counterparts. A collection of three interlocking tales that were originally published as separate short stories, together they offer a series of entertaining adventures in an imaginative setting. The cover artist is Michael Ferris. .

Adam Link, Robot by Eando Binder Warner Books (1974) A readers copy, and only a dollar. This novel, originally a series of short stories published in Amazing Stories magazine in the late 1930s-early 1940s, is told in the first person by Adam Link, the robot, but it says a lot about the human race and our prejudices. It's a good, solid science fiction adventure story. The cover artist is Charles Moll. .
