(1911-1992) Scottish-born soldier and author, permanently in Canada from 1948, naturalized in 1957; best known for sentimental evocations of Scottish spirit like Geordie (1950), later filmed. Winter of Madness (1964) is a Near-Future melodrama with spoof elements, involving a mysterious Invention, all told in a manner modestly evocative of John Buchan; and The Lord's Pink Ocean (1972) is a tale of Pollution and Disaster in which all but one of the world's oceans die when algae are Genetically Engineered to scavenge wastes poison the waters they scour.
