This reminds me that Hamilton's Starwolf trilogy has been sitting dormant and unread on one of my shelves. I need to read that some time.
As I recall, the Starwolf trilogy was fairly pedestrian, at least compared to other novels that Hamilton wrote during the second half of his career.
John Clute's SFE article (https://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/hamilton_edmond) has a number of suggestions in the penultimate paragraph. I agree that _The Haunted Stars_ (1960) was the best of the bunch.
That was an interesting read - thanks. I need to remember to visit there more often in general.
Bummer that the Starwolf trilogy is fair-to-middling - but it's the one I have. If I see some of the better suggestions in used book stores, I'll probably pick them up.
Thanks again,
Tony
