Search - List of Books by John Rankine

John Rankine (born Douglas Rankine Mason 26 September 1918) is a British science fiction author, who has written books as John Rankine and Douglas R. Mason. Rankine was born in Chester and went to Manchester University where he was a friend of Anthony Burgess (mentioned in Little Wilson and Big God, AB's autobiography).

We know little of his life until 1966, when his first short stories and novels were published while he was in his mid-forties. The novels have a very sixties and seventies feel to them. One theme he worked with was that of a shorter life span, possibly borrowed from William F. Nolan's Logan's Run, but while the background and theme seemed similar, The Resurrection of Roger Diment took the concept in a totally different direction.

Rankine also wrote television novels in the 1999 universe.
