Got to be the Icerigger trilogy.

I haven't seen that one on the story bookshelves in a long time.

 

[Pyan]

I've them all in NEL first paperback editions, starting with Icerigger itself from 1976.

There is an old thread here on ADF.

I read a lot of his movie Tie in books in the late 70's and early 80's. Splinter of the Mind's Eye was pretty good. Of his non tie-in books, I've not read many. I remember Catchalot was pretty interesting and i did enjoy the first two books in his "The Damned" trilogy. (I have the first editions at home, but i never saw the third one at Forbidden Planet, so it remains an incomplete trilogy.) I always meant to read his "Flinx" series as they sounded like a lot of fun.

Icerigger Trilogy for me. At least of his original works. I do think highly of his Alien and The Thing novelisations.

...Splinter of the Mind's Eye was pretty good.

Agreed, especially when you remember it was written and published before The Empire Strikes Back was completed and released.

Yes, indeed, but 'old'? Makes me think of Dennis in the Holy Grail... "I'm not old, I'm 37".
Course I was only in my late 40's when I posted that thread. Those were the days.

Since I babbled a lot on that "old" thread, I'll try to concisely say that (IIRC) my top group is probably Midworld, Nor Crystal Tears, and The Man Who Used the Universe, followed by The Tar-Aiym Krang and Icerigger.

I bought Icerigger back in the 70s. Probably my first ADF book.

But I like Nor Crystal Tears better.
