(1928-    ) Hungarian-born writer, in the UK from 1957, who began publishing sf with "Nightmares in Grey" for New Strand Magazine in 1962. His sf novels, bleak but otherwise unexceptional, are No Stars for Us (1964), The Seedy (1969) – whose titular protagonist is a fertile exception to near-universal sterility caused by atmospheric nuclear testing – and Metamorphosis (1976).

This author should not be confused with the pseudonymous Robert Ray who wrote for US magazines. [JC/DRL]
