His first novel, ''Emergence'' (ISBN 0-553-25519-3), won the Compton Crook Award in 1985. It arose from a short story by the same title featured in an Analog anthology called Children of the Future; both versions also won reader's choice awards from Analog.
His second novel, ''Threshold'' (ISBN 0-553-24878-2), was published as the first book in the ''To Halt Armageddon'' trilogy Emergence, , David R., Palmer, Bantam Spectra, 1990, ISBN 0-553-25519-3 in 1985, to somewhat lesser acclaim. The "About the Author" section of ''Threshold'' states that David is "currently working on the sequel to ''Threshold'', also to be published by Bantam", to be called ''Spēcial Education''^[1], although it has not been published to date. He stated in the afterword to the 1990 edition of ''Emergence'' that any future writing would depend upon his finances; as he has published nothing further, it may be surmised that he has been unable to resolve the situation.^[1]
