Teenage-Oriented (Juvenile) Science Fiction novels:
The Beyond (1967)
Plot Summary: An agent, sent to a distant planet where those with telepathic powers are banished, and ordered to find the person with the ability to move objects by thought, discovers to his horror that he is telepathic.
The Programmed Man (1968)
The reported power of the N-bomb aboard a destroyer spaceship preserves peace for years in the federated solar systems until enemy teleports—agents with the mental power to transport themselves—discover the bomb does not exist. Though rumour has it that this title has been republished in January 2000 by Putnam there seems to be no record of it.
Lord of the Stars (1969)
Prologue: "Gultur, Lord of the Stars, knew his race was destined to conquer the Universe, for such was ordained when life first emerged from the slate-gray seas of Munga. He, himself, had decimated a score of worlds. But then, at the brink of his greatest victory, he encountered an alien youth who dwelt alone on the planet of an emerald sun."
The alien youth is an earth child named Danny who was catapulted to the planet Wenda by his parents before their spacecraft was destroyed. Danny and his no-form (for life take forms or no forms at all) Zandro are our heroes. Fine copy of a mind-stretching adventure penned by the husband-and-wife team that gave us The Beyond and The Programmed Man.
Alien from the Stars (1970)
The sole survivor of a space wreck is sought by a variety of earth agents whom he has little trouble eluding.
The Boy Who Had the Power (1971)
Plot Summary: A boy who has lost his memory is a herder on a remote planet until a mysterious man gives him a beautiful stone to help him remember. Published by Putnam Books.
