Midnight at the Well of Souls by Jack L. Chalker
Have you tried Lois McMaster Bujold?
Check out Roger Zelazny if you havent already 🙂
The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester
Foundation by Isaac Asimov
Store of the Worlds – Robert Sheckley
Philip K. Dick has written some great stuff. I liked Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep; A Scanner Darkly; Flow My Tears, The Policemen Said
Roger Zelazny and Edmond Hamilton— the Starwolf novels are SO good!
Perhaps have a look at Tuf Voyaging by George RR Martin.
absolutely LOVE james schmitz! all time fave. The Demon Breed is a novella abt a young female scientist fighting aliens in a driftwood jungle to save an old man. with the help of giant otters of course. on the back of my copy is a review from andre norton saying she has “read about otters” and finds the otters’ behavior “believable”. I’m always searching for more copies of this book to give to friends
