Pelot's writing career began with westerns . His first novel La piste du Dakota is set in the USA after the end of the civil war .
In 1967, Pelot created the character Dylan Stark. From this a series developed, of which the first book ( Quatre Hommes pour l'Enfer ) also takes place in the American Civil War. In this novel, Dylan Stark is a soldier in the Southern Army .
In the 1970s, Pelot also began writing horror and science fiction (mainly under the pseudonym Pierre Suragne). Between 1972 and 1980, Pelot wrote 14 science fiction novels and 7 horror novels. They often ended without a happy ending and revolved around the political issues of the post- 1968 generation , in particular ecological sustainability . Sexuality also occasionally plays a role.
In the 1980s, Pelot wrote novels for many science fiction publishers in France. In almost all books he warned against military-industrial companies and turbo-capitalist societies and promoted environmental protection and a social society. His works played mainly in police states , utopias and dystopias and had already convicted rebels as main characters. Transit (1977), one of his most important works, is about an experiment in which a researcher is hypnotically sent into a peaceful utopia.
Pelot's 12 dystopias appeared between 1977 and 1990 and belong to the Les Hommes sans Futurs cycle (people without a future); it is about different people who live on an earth that is now inhabited by mutants that are no longer understandable .
In the 1990s, Pelot also wrote crime thrillers and adventure novels in addition to other science fiction novels.
