Capricorn One (1978)
To all appearances the launching of Capricorn One, the first spaceship to Mars, seemed perfectly normal. Everybody in the country was watching the countdown on television.
But behind the scenes, two and a half hours before lift-off, a strange and terrifying drama was being played out. A NASA director was warning the three astronauts that their spacecraft was faulty. He told them they must fake the trip via computer magic. This way they could convince the President the mission had succeeded. Failure would mean the end of the space program.

The Hellhound Project (1975)

When the Waker Sleeps (1975)
LIE DOWN ON ZANZIBAR
You've heard of the mad scientist's beautiful daughter? Well, Nat Kobean made the mistake of taking a pass at the mad scientist's beautiful wife....and thereby became a guinea pig for Dr. Dumpus's Dose.
The dose was a serum that would enable one to travel into the future by naps of fifty years duration. The unsolved part of the experiment was that the sleepers would only stay awake a limited time before falling asleap again for another half century.
So when Nat woke up fifty years later he had to act fast to find an antidote. But an antidote in a world so changed was a problem that required too much time to locate. So it was back to sleep and up again and back to sleep and up again.....
And what kept happening to the world while the Waker slept makes Ron Goulart's new novel, a mad, mad version of the Wellsian classic of when the Sleeper woke.

Wildsmith (1972)
The problems of modern living were getting Tom Miley down. It was bad enough that he had to make sure Wildsmith, the robot, didn't keep unscrewing and mailing his hands to female admirers, but when the writer-robot decided that he was, variously, Mark Twain, a raving drunk, a dog tamer and a sex maniac, Miley was ready to give up in despair. And then Miley and Worsmith went on tour—and the chaos really began!
