Colin Kapp cover gallery

An early favourite of mine thanks to his remarkable Unorthodox Engineers series of stories in New Worlds and New Writings in SF (and, I confess, the Chris Foss covers on his novels), Colin Kapp was never an especially prolific author. I rather lost track of him in 1982, having picked up the first two of the Cageworld books. I don't remember ever seeing the last two in our local book shops, and I've only recently — April 2026 — picked them up via Ebay. 

There was a collection of the Unorthodox Engineers stories from Dobson, but I believe it appeared just as Dobson was going out of business, so was never widely distributed. Copies go for inflated prices and I'd love to see it as an SF Masterworks. Of his novels, The Dark Mind is probably his best, along with his novelette 'Lambda 1' and sequel 'The Imagination Trap'. 

There was a further novel advertised, The Timewinders, which was also caught up in the demise of his publisher, Dennis Dobson and never appeared. I wonder what happened to the manuscript?
