Odwiedził także Polskę.
Jego pierwsza powieść, The Embedding, dostała nagrodę Apollo Prix w 1975. Napisał takie powieści jak: Miracle Visitors, God's World, The Jonah Kit oraz The Flies of Memory i wiele zbiorów opowiadań. Pracował też nad scenariuszem do obrazu A.I. Sztuczna inteligencja.
Napisał też serię o powieściach do serii gier Warhammer 40.000, Draco, Chaos Child a także Harlequin (wspólny tytuł The Inquisition War).
Był redaktorem naczelnym Foundation: The Review of Science Fiction.
