The Godmakers by action/adventure genre pioneer and creator of the immensely popular Mack Bolan Executioner series Don Pendleton (
ISFDB, Wikipedia), a vintage psychic political conspiracy thriller originally out from Kensington's Pinnacle imprint in 1970 under his Dan Britain pseudonym.
A fantastic adventure into cosmic consciousness and the unknown...
The United States government’s executive intelligence gathering agency, the Inter-agency Intelligence Group, has largely supplanted the clumsy machinery of the CIA as a direct tool of the U.S. President. Patrick Honor, a top member of the Intelligence Group, is the one skilled enough to find answers to mysterious events taking place, in which the number 9 has significance. Members of a top secret psychic investigative team, the PPS, Psychic Power Sources, are in harm’s way, as is the President.
Patrick Honor believes there is a Rogue God. Is he right? Do the answers to the mystery have anything to do with sex being taboo down through the ages? Who is Octavia? Will answers be found in the symbology of the Nines? Can Patrick Honor insure the safety of the President while unraveling the psychic events—all before it is too late for humanity?

City Whitelight by Scottish author John McKenzie (
ISFDB), an sfnal near-future urban dystopia adventure-ish thriller originally out from Edinburgh-based Mainstream Publishing in 1986, which the blurb says was adapted as a play for BBC Radio 4's
Monday Night Theatre programme.
City Whitelight is an explosive novel set against the process of social breakdown in an archetypal city - a city without any real place in geography or time, in a world which has become accustomed to eruptions of urban discontent. The surreal inner city environment created in the novel has obvious modern connotations.
Centrum, the area at the centre of John McKenzie's nightmare city, has over a period of time become encircled by a band of derelict wasteland, edged with wire and prowled by wild, savage dogs. Within the physical and economic decay of this inner city area, a plague had sprung up causing the ghetto to be completely isolated from the rest of the city .... or so it seems.
Jackie Whitelight becomes the leader of a youth gang in an effort to ease his attempt to flee from the city altogether. But his instinctive need to escape conflicts with his desire to help the Inner City when he discovers, during a foray into the Outer City, that a massive extermination programme is planned. He then encounters Gisler, the grotesque and obese ruler of the Inner City, and the Poison Maker, a dealer in drugs and a man of messianic delusions ...
