==Novels== ''[[New York Times]]'' reviewer Villiers Gerson described his 1953 novel ''The Transcendent Man'' as "contain[ing] enough twists to afford the reader a few hours' entertainment" despite being "oversimplified in motivation."<ref>"Spacemen's Realm", ''[[The New York Times]]'', May 24, 1953.</ref> [[P. Schuyler Miller]] found the plot unconvincing.<ref>"The Reference Library," ''[[Astounding Science Fiction]]'', March 1954, pp.153</ref> Gerson later panned Sohl's ''The Altered Ego'', saying "This wordy book lacks characterization, emotion, suspense, and interest."<ref>"Spaceman's Realm", ''[[The New York Times Book Review]]'', July 18, 1954, p.20.</ref> His 1955 ''[[Point Ultimate]]'' is a piece of [[Cold War]] [[invasion literature]]: in 1999, a faraway [[future history]] at the time of writing, the US lies under a cruel [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] occupation, reinforced by a deadly artificial disease which makes conquered Americans dependent on the conquerors for the injections that keep them alive. In ''[[The Time Dissolver]]'' (1957), a man and a woman wake one morning to find that they have lost all memory of the past eleven years, including how they met and became married.
