Throughout his writing career he remained a free-lance editorial consultant to aerospace industries and published articles in related professional magazines. He published 23 novels in more than 10 languages, including a number of science fiction, war, political, and juvenile books. In one of his interviews he said that writing came naturally to him. He wrote that his greatest interest had always been people and the settings in which they function. As a writer, he focused on subjects related to his earlier work space, astronautics, war, newspapers and on science fiction. Among his books about space exploration are Bombs in Orbit (1959) , Spacehive (1960) and Apollo at Go (1963). Sutton's 1963 fictional look at the first Apollo crewed lunar landing prophetically set the historic event in July 1969 although he did get the date wrong by a few weeks, July 8 instead of the July 20 date that the real Apollo 11 landed on the Moon."
