He published six stories in sf magazines in 1963 and 1964, his first such appearance being "Patriot" (August 1963 Analog); three tales were included in the Judith Merril Year's Best S-F series of anthologies. The Eli Pike series of sf novels – The Rim-World Legacy (1967; exp as coll vt The Rim-World Legacy and Beyond 1991), Scor-Sting (1990) and The Ice Beast (1990) – comprises three capably framed intrigues set on Rimworlds, where Pike must maintain some sort of order.
