Piper Re-reads, Reviews and Commentary

"Considering the one author about whom I am uniquely qualified to speak, I question if any reader of H. Beam Piper will long labor under the misunderstanding that he is a pious Christian, a left-wing liberal, a Gandhian pacifist, or a teetotaler."
— H. Beam Piper, "The double:bill Symposium" interview

H. Beam Piper Re-reads

". . . and in the evening he dialed through his micro-film library, finding only books he had read and reread a dozen times. . . ."
— H. Beam Piper (Jack Holloway POV), Little Fuzzy


These "re-read" reviews of Piper's yarns assume that the reader has already read the yarn being reviewed.  There will be "spoilers," of course, but hopefully there are benefits too.  Piper's Terro-human Future History yarns are especially suited to a re-read because he connects them to each other in such subtle ways.  So, whether you re-read Piper simply to enjoy the "Re-read Bonus" or perhaps as an element of personal growth or merely because Piper isn't writing any more, these are the reviews for you.
