Rowland, Donald S
(1928-2022) UK author of a very large number of pseudonymous works, mostly with Robert Hale Limited; those used for sf titles include Fenton Brockley, Roger Carlton, Graham Garner, Alex Random, Roland Starr and Mark Suffling. For that firm (or for the highly similar house of Gresham) his Space Operas under his own name begin with Despot in Space (1973), which with Master of Space (1974) forms the Professor Condor sequence whose titular Scientist hero confronts challenges with the aid of his Matter Transmission device.
