Time and Time Again and Other Sf
When they published the title story of this collection in April 1947, Astounding Science Fiction said, To upset the stable, mighty stream of time would probably take an enormous concentration of energy. And it's not to be expected that a man would get a second chance at life. But an atomic might accomplish both -- John W. Campbell was a man who really knew what makes SF the appealing thing it is; it's no wonder that he published the story. Also included in this volume are The Mercenaries (Astounding Science Fiction, March, 1950), He Walked Around the Horses (Astounding Science Fiction, April 1948), The Return (Astounding Science Fiction, January, 1954 -- a collaboration with John J. McGuire), and Temple Trouble (Astounding Science Fiction, April, 1951).
The Cosmic Computer
During the System States' War, Poictesme was the general HQ and supply depot for the final thrust at the enemy. When the war ended, the buildings, the munitions, the freeze-dried food supplies, were all abandoned without a thought. Now the colony world is a poverty-stricken agricultural society with only two exports: the fermented products of their world's unique grapes, and the salvaged war equipment, now selling at about 1% of its true value. And, persisting over the decades, is the legend of MERLIN, the super-computer said to have planned the grand strategy which successfully concluded the war. "If we could only find Merlin," the inhabitants said to each other, "all our problems would be solved." Then young Conn Maxwell returned from Earth, with a university degree, and a few clues about the location and the true nature of Merlin. And the sure knowledge that finding the Cosmic Computer would be the worst thing that could possibly happen to his home world.
Last Enemy
A classic science fiction tale by H. Beam Piper. The last enemy was the toughest of all-and conquering him was in itself almost as dangerous as not conquering. For a strange pattern of beliefs can make assassination an honorable profession!
Crossroads of Destiny and Others
Blurbs for books. Days are we write so many of them we could just . . . well. But it's clear we aren't the only ones who feel this way. H. Beam Piper sold Crossroads of Destiny to Fantastic Universe Science Fiction, which published it in their July 1959 issue. No wonder he'd been so interested in the talk of whether our people accepted these theories they said of the story. We aren't at all certain what they meant by that, but you'll probably have a clue. The blurb for Hunter Patrol (Amazing Stories, May 1959 -- a collaboration with John J. McGuire) is equally oblique: Readers who remember the Hon. Stephen Silk, diplomat extraordinary, in Lone Star Planet (FU, March 1957), later published as...
Last Enemy
Part of H. Beam Piper's popular Paratime series, "Last Enemy" follows the work of researcher Dallona of Hadron, who is attempting to determine whether any aspect of the mind, body or soul survives the process of death. However, when her experiments suggest that sentience does outlast the physical body, and she uncovers a link between this immortality and time travel, Dallona is faced with unforeseen consequences she never expected.
Police Operation
Hunting down the beast, under the best of circumstances, was dangerous. But in this little police operation, the conditions required the use of inadequate means! Henry Beam Piper (March 23, 1904 - c. November 6, 1964) was an American science fiction author. He wrote many short stories and several novels. He is best known for his extensive Terro-Human Future History series of stories and a shorter series of "Paratime" alternate history tales. He wrote under the name H. Beam Piper. Another source gives his name as "Horace Beam Piper" and a different date of death. His gravestone says "Henry Beam Piper." Piper himself may have been the source of part of the confusion; he told people the H stood for Horace, encouraging the assumption that he used the initial because he disliked his name.
