AR admitted that he had rung out of story lines. The last 4 novels he published were B6, ML, PM & GN. Out of these I think that only PM is a really engaging story, although ML is fine as a fantasy adventure story.
In addition it was 4 years between PM & GN publication dates and GN was published in 1947, perhaps the worst year for post war gloom and austerity. It may well be that AR had difficulty picking up the thread of writing again and was affected by the post war aftermath.
