You might try Roger Zelazny's Isle of the Dead, written in the mid-60s. Classic early Zelazny order/form vs. chaos theme pitting a Worldscaper against a failed-Worldscaper-gone-bad on a 'Scaped planet called the Isle of the Dead. His This Immortal, from the same period, is good as well.
Other mid-60s options worth a look are Piers Anthony's first two: Chthon and Phthor.
