Evans won the BSFA award for the 1993 novel Aztec Century, which Iain M. Banks described as '...intelligent, finely written, and towards the end, absolutely nail-biting.'^{[citation needed]}

In addition to his works for younger readers, he wrote the tie-in novelisation of the film Innerspace (1987). Evans published these books using a pseudonym. His book Omega, an alternate history thriller, was released by PS Publishing in 2008. It was his first novel for adults in a decade.
