Much thanks!

[@CommandoCody01]

In my opinion one of the greatest authors ever. Piper, Asimov, Vogt, Simak, Saberhagen, Heinlein, and many more, have each added so much to my life. Their books are part of me. Through many years I have read, and re-read them. Now I have another way to enjoy them! Thank you for the upload!

Try brothers Strugatsky. The sci fi anguish is so real it makes my hair stand up. Game series "Stalker" is inspired by their books.

I enjoy listening to these stories while I’m lying in bed before sleep 🤘🇦🇺🌌

[@jefferydraper4019]

I do the same. Sadly I can only really enjoy the stories Ive read sometime before.

Here's some more H. Beam Piper trivia for you: The fifth story in this series, "Graveyard of Dreams", was actually an experimental short story that he wrote and put on the backburner while he focused on completing the Paratime series. Once that was done, "Graveyards" was expanded into one spectacular novel, titled "The Cosmic Computer", which set in motion the philosophical debate about religion versus technology, and the role of sentient supercomputers as godly figures due to their unlimited intelligence and power.

[@Morboeatspeople]

I love the story of Con and company :) The Cosmic Computer rocked!

[@jefferydraper4019]

The Cosmic Computer. A horrible title for such a great story.

[@BlueSkyCountry]

I love all of the great works by H. Beam Piper. Especially the Paratime series. He was such a talented writer and master of storytelling, as well as a gun collector and shooting enthusiast too. I am thoroughly surprised, that the Paratime novelettes have not been made into movies or a TV series already. I can picture Matt Damon playing Verkan Vall and Angelina Jolie or Cecile Cassel as Hadron Dalla. Science fiction is suffering a major setback recently due to all the "reality based" shows and cheap romances, and something original like the Paratime Series would immediately become successful, especially in today's market and using the latest in CG and video art.

[@jonbocz]

Get serious! Can you imagine what the response would be from the liberals and the media when the kind of people that Piper wrote about our put in movies or on television? The kind of people who were responsible for their own actions, who did things on their own rather than waiting for someone else (the government?) to to do something for them. There would be resistance to making the movies or television programs, and the critics would pan them. In the end, one or two TV series might get a year, or a movie might be made, and that would be it. There would be some reason for their objections - look at 'Uller Uprising' - but 'Oomphel in the Sky' or 'Omnilingual' would be a real problem to Liberals.

@@jonbocz I think Space viking would be something to break the ice. Vikings are in pop culture again thanks to "Vikings TV show", "Wardruna, heilung bands", if you make a movie using it as a springboard.. I know in space vikings, they were not very viking, but a sci-fi norse asthethics would be interesting.

[@danielch6662]

9:00 and China does not get mentioned at all. Piper died in 1964. The story was written in 1959, set in Argentina in 1984. Armageddon was in 1969. Noticed how much potential India had at the time? West Germany and Japan had yet to recover. Western Europe was still rebuilding.

[@ethelredhardrede1838]

"Piper died in 1964." Committed suicide, but first put all his published books in the Public Domain. I think that Fuzzy Sapiens is the only under copyright. He did that to keep the money from his ex-wife.

I read a sci-fi story about 50 years ago and I at times wonder what story it was. The only elements I remember is the main character was enhanced like the six million dollar man, and I remember a sentence mentioning his silver veins. He was able to move very fast, etc. I don't remember the final ending. It was in a collection of sci-fi stories. LOL. Not a lot of clues, but I'm at a loss what story it was.

[@ericjohnson8001]

I got one like that I read at9 or 10 years and old and all I remember is "teardrop shaped space craft"-- but I remember it really impressed me at the time.

[@knewledge8626]

Alternative ending to The Answer. The bomb disappears when it enters the atmosphere and reappears over Auburn 15 years earlier due to time displacement from the blast. It ignores a few laws of physics but sci-fi authors are good at that and it would have been a cooler ending. 😎
