Overview
Henry Beam Piper

March 23, 1904 November 5, 1964
Photograph from 1993 Old Earth Books reprint of Murder in the Gunroom H. Beam Piper's story is one of the great tragedies of science fiction. Piper was born in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1904. His first story, "Time and Time Again," appeared in Astounding Science Fiction in 1947, and Piper remained primarily an Astounding/Analog writer for most of his life. His contributions included a number of classics: the much-anthologized 1957 puzzle-story "Omnilingual," in which the periodic table holds the key to decrypting the language of the dead Martian race; the novel SPACE VIKING, serialized in 1962-63; and two of three alternate world adventure novellas that were published in book form as LORD KALVAN OF OTHERWHEN. Although he is best remembered today for his Hugo-nominated novel LITTLE FUZZY and its sequels, which detail the consequences of the discovery of a sentient race the two-foot tall Fuzzies whose very existence threatens an interstellar corporation's planetary charter, Piper was far from a writer of cute and fluffy stories. A devoted admirer of Toynbee's A Study of History , Piper was fascinated with history as a process. He knew it in small scope and large, and could write of its graces and brutalities with equal facility.

H. Beam Piper
Creator of Paratime and author of Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen and the Little Fuzzy , H. Beam Piper claimed to have been a writer for 26 years before making his first sale, "Time and Time Again," in 1946. His luck didn't get much better. Piper enjoyed history and visiting famous places. He wrote historical articles with some success but failed at writing historical fiction. Piper collected swords, knives, and guns (especially revolvers) and an article appeared in the Altoona newspaper showing a photo of Piper and some of his collection. Without a family, Piper gravitated to the fans and collectors that surrounded science fiction and gun collecting. He smoked a pipe all of his adult life and often was not in the best of health (his breakfast was a 7-Up and a pot of black coffee and a nightcap of a glass of rum). When Piper attended the World's SF Convention at Pittsburg in 1960, he was gaunt. "I don't like to leave messes when I go away

"He knew the grand sweep of history, but he also knew the small tales; the intrigues and petty jealousies, heroism and cowardice, honor and betrayals. This, I think, is why his stories have such a ring of truth... He was a story teller; a man who could keep you up all night with his books and tales... He was a cavalier."

Paratime Roots
The grandaddy of parallel timeliners is, of course, H. Beam Piper. Piper took off from the solidly traditional sci fi field and produced a strikingly unique Universe that allowed him to explore some very interesting ideas. Piper was acutely interested in problems of class and class politics, the nature of time, and the foibles of history. His other major work, Federation series, dealt with colonialism in an even-handed way; The Uller Uprising , for example, is a fascinating science fiction treatment of an Indian mutiny against the British Empire, transfered into a space colonization scenario. The Paratime stories posit a time traveling police force whose mandate is to keep everyone else from discovering the secret of parallel timeline travel, in part to keep the chaos level down, and part to protect their world's lucrative trade with the other timelines. Piper's stories are different from the Standard Fare by having the rudiments of an ideology and an arcane theoretical structure. He was a capitalist who had an appreciation of socialism, and an arch scepticism of the tenets of modern society. This can get a bit extreme. At one point, Piper extolls the use of nuclear war as just the thing to harness willy nilly overpopulation.
The best place to begin the Paratime journey is with Ace's Paratime , a great selection of short works following one of the Paratime cops through a few of his cases. The tales invariably start off in a fairly straightforward way, then veer off into some pretty Strange territory. One of his stories explores the political ramifications of proving that reincarnation is a fact. This embedding of the exotic within the ordinary creates a tension in Piper's stories that raises them above the mainline of science fiction of his time. Just when it seems like it's just another adventure story, Piper leads the reader into unexpected speculation and unforseen consequences. And all this with a sly and critical wink at contemporary society and politics.

PIPER-L: The Works of H. Beam Piper
Click Here for Late News on Lord Kalvan/Great Kings' War sequel! PIPER-L is a forum for the discussion of the works of science fiction author H. Beam Piper. Piper, who committed suicide in 1963, is perhaps best known for his books Little Fuzzy and Fuzzy Sapiens , although these books formed only a part of what became known as Piper's Terro-Human Future History (TFH). Piper was also responsible for a series of stories known as the Paratime Series, which includes the book Lord Kalvan Of Otherwhen Piper also wrote a mystery Murder In The Gunroom which was published in the late 1950's and is very difficult to find today. Try contacting Old Earth Books, P.O. Box 19951, Baltimore, MD 21211-0951; they republished a facsimile edition several years ago and may still have copies. Also Barnes and Noble's online ordering service indicates that they can special order the booktheir URL is http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ . (Please note that by mentioning these two companies I am NOT endorsing either Old Earth Books or Barnes and Noble.) Unfortunately, after a revival in the late 1980's, it is once again difficult to find the rest of Piper's works as well.

Bio:
"Horace Beam Piper was born in 1904, the son of a Protestant minister. He had no formal education and at age eighteen went to work as a laborer for the Pennsylvania Railroad's Altoona yards. Throughout his life he was a reticent and guarded man and as a result we know little about his early years. He was largely self-educated; he obtained a deep knowledge of science and history: 'without subjecting myself to the ridiculous misery of four years in the uncomfortable confines of a raccoon coat.'"
"A solitary man to the end, Piper did not tell his friends of his financial predicament. Instead, he took a way out that could only be reasonable to a man who abhorred state handouts and was determined not to burden his friends and family. On Monday, November 9th, 1964, H. Beam Piper shut off all the utilities to his apartment in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, put painter's drop-cloths over the walls and floor, and took his own life with a handgun from his collection. In his suicide note, he gave an explanation that is pure Piper:
"I don't like to leave messes when I go away, but if I could have cleaned up any of this mess, I wouldn't be going away. H. Beam Piper'"

Brief reviews of several piper novels.
http://public.logica.com/~stepneys/sf/dani/003.htm
Belated Reviews #3: H Beam Piper
H Beam Piper wrote mostly in the fifties and early sixties. He died thinking himself a failure, before receiving word that may have made a difference. Piper is a personal favorite, so I have more trouble than usual judging which of his works a new reader would enjoy today. The political tenor of Piper's works is fairly consistent: On the one side, reasonable men, willing to do what needs to be done and competent to do it. On the other side, corrupt officials, crooked lawyers, hypocritical or misguided (liberal) idealists, and the mob. The mob is important: Piper was well-read in history, and his future history features what he perceived to be a perennial tendency for the barbarians at the gates or the barbarians within to short-sightedly pull down civilization. Many contemporary authors duplicate his stance, but not the gently ironic tone of much of his writing. Most of Piper's works (except for two novels) have been reprinted. The majority form a future history of humanity in space repeating the errors of the past. The majority of the rest belong to his 'Paratime' sequence, about a civilization that spans (or at least interacts with) a multitude of alternate Earths, and whose Paratime Police attempt to oversee those interactions. Piper's books include Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen (***+). Sometimes the Paratime Police mess up, and this particular mess drops a member of the Pennsylvania State Police into an alternate medieval-tech land which is about to be conquered and destroyed at the behest of a theocracy which owns the local gunpowder monopoly. Fortunately Calvin (soon Kalvan) remembers his chemistry and even more important his military history. This book is probably the main inspiration for the entire military-sf subgenre whose main contemporary practitioners are Drake, Pournelle, and Stirling. It focuses as much (or more) upon the technological, logistical, and political problems Kalvan faces as it does upon his battles.
