The Green Brain - insect intelligence in the South American jungle; I like this one, and I think it's a better-written novel than Dune.
The Eyes of Heisenberg - genetic-engineering in a totalitarian future; one of his weaker efforts.
The Heaven Makers - aliens in flying saucers watch small town American for entertainment; again, not one of his best.
The Santaroga Barrier - strange goings-on in a small town in California; another one of my favourites - an interesting premise, well-handled.
Whipping Star and The Dosadi Experiment - inventive space opera, although slightly over-complicated in parts
The Godmakers - fix-up novel about a man who becomes a god; some good ideas, but the whole isn't greater than the sum of its parts.
Hellstrom's Hive - social experiment with humans in a hive society; another good one.
Destination: Void, The Jesus Incident, The Lazarus Effect and The Ascension Factor (the last three with Bill Ransom) - lost starship colonises a planet, and the ship's AI declares itself God; it's been a while since I read these, but I remember them as about on a par with later books of the Dune series.
The White Plague - big fat techno-thriller, probably best avoided unless you like big fat techno-thrillers.

And, of course, there are several collections of his short fiction, of which Eye is probably the best.

Thanks for the list. This should keep me busy for a while. I will leave the one's that you say aren't up to par or are weaker than the rest for last, if at all.
