He was a good writer and a solid philosopher. Less focused than Clarke or Asimov, less wacky than Dick, and less manipulative than Hubbard. He presented ideas in a clear way.

Allow me to introduce you to Ross Thomas.
He was a WW2 veteran who became a Washington political reporter. His crime novels always have an interesting political slant.
“The Porkchoppers” is about a Nixon era Union election. Giant cast of characters and slime by the tankerload.
“The Fool’s In Town Are On Our Side” is about an ex-CIA agent’s sttempts to clean up a small Southern city by making it ‘so corrupt even the pimps will vote for reform.”
