Graveyard of Dreams - H. Beam Piper

[@denvan3143]

I bought this story as a paperback in the 1970s under the title _Junkyard Planet._ It was originally titled _The Cosmic Computer._ It’s a good read and a good listen. 🚀

My favorite reader, superb!

@@jonshepherd2550 I think so, very similar in any case 😊

[@cody481]

The long version of this book is called " The Cosmic Computer ". I prefer it.

H Beam Piper....is some handle!

[@crystalthompson3682]

I do believe I read this when I still had hair. Isn't the second story part of the 'Space Viking' story arc?

[@allisonschempf2230]

Crystal Thompson Yes, I think the novel based on this story was the sequel to Space Viking. H.Beam Piper's alternative histories are quaint in some ways but still entertaining!

[@TheHornedOne81]

Was actually the prequel. In the novel the comp warns of collapse of TF. The Space Viking series was post collapse.

[@JayM409]

It is the same future history, but Space Vikings takes place centuries later.

So there was a lot there.

[@cody481]

Mark Nelson was one of the best. I will listen to anything he reads.
