http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/dastuart/fictiondir/authordir/hpiper/

Extractions: H. Beam Piper is an author of whose works I am particularly fond. I especially like Space Viking The Cosmic Computer , and Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen . They are all semi-space opera, and have horrible titles, but are a lot of fun. They are all pretty good, but the above three are (for today anyway) my favorites. Most of his books fall into either his Paratime or Terra-Human Future History serieses (seria?). One further note. Most of his titles seem extremely lame by today's standards, more suited to the type of prose found in books by E. E. "Doc" Smith , than the somewhat more modern prose of Piper, although I like Smith's writing too. List of books Category Douglas Stuart

Extractions: Quarante-Deux Archives Stellaires recherche Bifrost L sense of wonder American Dream libertarianisme Parmi les principaux chantres du libertarianisme D'abord détective pour les Chemins de Fer de Pennsylvanie, Piper avait déjà commencé à écrire pour différentes revues (sa première nouvelle de SF, "Time and Time Again", parue dans Astounding Crisis in 2140 en 1953, A Planet for Texans Federation et Empire , en 1981 — signalons en France "Langage universel", in Fiction space opera Space Viking (1963), chez Temps Futurs "Space Fiction"), ainsi qu'une série sur le thème des mondes parallèles (comparable à la Patrouille du Temps de Poul Anderson, quoique sur un mode nettement plus anecdotique) : celui de "Lord Kalvan" et de la "Paratime Police". Le roman de ce cycle, Kalvan d'outre-temps Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen , 1965) est traduit en français ("Galaxie-Bis" nº 24) . Il s'agissait toujours d'une SF d'aventure, solidement charpentée, de lecture agréable à défaut d'être innovatrice. Piper n'était jamais meilleur que lorsqu'il adoptait fermement le moule “campbellien” : un décor bien établi, des personnages plausibles, une intrigue d'aventure excitante, de l'émotion — plus quelques concepts glissés, l'air de rien, en fond de scène. Il serait cependant resté un auteur réellement mineur s'il n'avait pas publié à partir de 1962 le cycle des "Fuzzy Sapiens" — une œuvre extrêmement attachante qui n'échappa heureusement pas à la vigilance de l'éditeur français Michel Demuth.
Millennial Reviews XXIX: Omnilingual -H. Beam Piper
Ad Astra science fiction Millennial Reviews XXIX Omnilingual H. beam piper.Millennial Review XXIX by James Nicoll. Omnilingual by H. beam piper.
http://www.ad-astra.demon.nl/esseff/millennial-29.html

Extractions: 54 pages Synopsis: Near the end of the twentieth century (Carr give the year as as 54 AE, AE = 1945), a post-Atomic War Earth is unified under the Federation. Advanced and wealthy, the Federation is funding interplanetary exploration. Omnilingual takes place on Mars where a fair sized group of archaeologists are exploring the ruins left by a very recently extinct race of intelligent Martians. Mars is a dying planet, past the point of non-technological occupation by humanoid species, with the richest life found in the ancient sea beds, where depth and scale-height give the animals enough air to breath. Martha Dane is highly interested in the language(s0 of old Mars. The problem is that like the Harrapan languages, no known intermediary exists between any human language and that of Mars, which makes the problem of translating Martian a seemingly insurmountable opportunity. Mathra is under pressure to drop the line of research, both from friends who think it will damage her career and from Tony Lattimer, who thinks it might damage the public standing of the expedition and therefore his career, Latimer being interested in other people purely in terms of what they can do for him. The group of archaeologists are lucky enough to stumble onto one of the last sites occupied by civilised Martians. Elsewhere as the cultures decayed into barbarism, the physical artifacts of the high period were taken by the barbarians to be reused as fit the barbarians needs, leaving very little for the humans to study. This community was different, having possession of a building with a internal power supply and with easily defended perimeters. The building is in excellent shape and Martha is very pleased when two rooms full of books turn up.
Review Of Space Viking By H. Beam Piper
SPACE VIKING by H. beam piper. Copyright 1963. The murder of his wifeon the day of his marriage sets Lucas Trask on a mission of revenge.
http://www.booksforabuck.com/sfpages/space_viking.html

Extractions: Web search The murder of his wife on the day of his marriage sets Lucas Trask on a mission of revenge. Plunging his personal fortune into a space ship, Trask becomes a Space Viking, set on raiding worlds while simultaneously hunting for his wife's killer. Trask soon realizes that raiding is wasteful of resources and gradually transitions into a trader, building the basis for a galactic empire. Before he can achieve his new goals, however, he has to deal with the dramatically increased power of his wife's killer. Set in a post-apocalyptic universe after the collapse of a galactic civilization, the Space Vikings are remnants of an exiled group (in some ways similar to the Clans in Battletech) who now raid for profit. Like the tenth century vikings on Earth, the Space Vikings are now settling down in their raid teritories, establishing independent and semi-independent states that may form the basis for an evolving civilization.

http://home.earthlink.net/~nimrodd/TFH.htm

Extractions: H. Beam Piper has been my favorite storyteller since the early '80's. I discovered him through an employee at a game shop who told me about the influence of Space Viking on the role-playing game Traveller . Since that was during the time of the Ace reprints, I got hooked (and have since worn out many a copy of Space Viking as well as other Piper books). The following file is based on the posting by William Taylor to the Piper Mailing List on 2/26/2001. I did a rough conversion to import it into ChView (here are some screenshots of this file from ChView). This information is based strictly on what William posted and has not been corrected for orientation to galactic coordinates. Here is a Java version of ChView showing the TFH Federation according to the above files. TFH.chv (To download, shift + click) One of the best Piper websites I have found is at www.zarthani.net Here is H. Beam Piper's Rebel Raider article from the December 1950 True Magazine. I finally got it OCR'd and cleaned up. If you find anything that looks like an error, please let me know and I will go back and verify it from the original text.

The Complete Paratime By H. Beam Piper (Olson)
The Complete Paratime. by H. beam piper. A book review by Mark L. Olson. Ace has broughtout a trade paperback edition of all of H. beam piper's Paratime stories.
http://www.nesfa.org/reviews/Olson/CompleteParatime.html

Extractions: Ace, 2001, 424 pp, $15.00 Ace has brought out a trade paperback edition of all of H. Beam Piper's Paratime stories. Piper's Paratime is probably the best of the alternate histories. He imagines a world where the human race, facing resource exhaustion on Earth invents travel to alternate Earths rather than into space. People trade with worlds where history happened differently and especially to worlds where the human race never evolved. Mankind being what it is, criminals operate in these alternate worlds also, and where there are criminals, there must be police. The Paratime stories are mostly about the Paratime Police who exist not so much to guard the more primitive peoples of the outworlds from the depredations of paratime criminals, as to prevent the paratimer's criminals from giving away the secret that an advanced people who live among us and exploit us. The stories come in two groups: the Paratime Police stories and the Lord Kalvan story. The best of the Paratime Police stories are the first "He Walked Around the Horses" and the last, "Last Enemy." The novel, Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen , (one of my favorite SF novels) is at least their equal.

http://www.troynovant.com/Franson/Piper/Complete-Paratime.html

Extractions: The Complete Paratime collects the six science-fiction stories of H. Beam Piper's excellent Paratime series, ranging in length from short story to novel. Paratime and another way. A civilization on one of the time-lines millennia ago discovered the secret of paratemporal transportation that allows it to exploit the endless resources of these alternate Earths, via sidewise or lateral time-travel across the myriad time-lines. This First Level civilization also considers itself obliged to police their citizens across all these time-lines: the task of the Paratime Police. Varied police investigations and the related adventures provide the basis of the Paratime Series These stories appeared in Astounding Science Fiction in 1948-1955 and (as renamed) Analog in 1964-1965. They should be read in the order that they appeared, and as here collected in The Complete Paratime ; it's not so much that the plots build on previous ones, but the reader's comprehension of what Paratime is, how it works, and why the Paratime Police is important, progresses through the series. Murray Leinster's ground-breaking " Sidewise in Time " from 1934 is clearly a model, but H. Beam Piper is one of the great fictional theorists of alternate worlds.
