He has many good books, some of my favorites are ; "Cryptozoic", "The Long After noon of Earth" and "The Billion Year Spree". The last is a history of sf. His latest project is a trilogy (vol. 2 was just released in hardback). It is about a frozen world that has summer once every couple of thousand years. It is the Helliconia Trilogy (vol. 1 is Helliconia Spring and vol. 2 is Helliconia Summer). I've not read these yet, but the reviews on them are good. Michael Moorcock - Another Brit. He has a trilogy "Dancers at the End of Time" which is a look at the end of the world. The set includes: "An Alien Heat, The Hollow Land and The End of All Songs". He also wrote "Behold the Man", which is a sf look at Christ - very good!
