CAMERON, Ian

CAMERON, Ian
   Pseudonym of UK writer Donald Gordon Payne (1924-), author of The Lost Ones (1961; vt The Island at the Top of the World 1974 US) and The Mountains at the Bottom of the World (1972 US; vt Devil Country 1976 UK). The former, under what became as a result the later UK vt, was filmed by Disney in 1973. The mechanics of IC's plots derive from LOST-WORLD conventions generally - and, in the case of the second novel, from Conan DOYLE specifically. Star-Raker (1962), as by Donald Gordon, is a straightforward adventure. With George Erskine, he wrote two Counter Force tales, Beware the Tektrons (1988) and Find the Tektrons (1988). Payne has also written mainstream fiction as James Vance Marshall.
