John F. Carr's Paratime Sequels
"Well, you need a man who'd know the historical background, and you'd need a man with a powerful creative imagination, who is used to using it inside rigorously defined limits."

Time Crime, H. Beam Piper and John F. Carr, Boalsburg, PA: Pequod Press, 2010, with dust jacket illustration by Alan Gutierrez.
• Carr's expansion of Piper's original 1955 novella "Time Crime," includes Piper's first published story as a prologue. "Time and Time Again" is not generally considered to be a part of Piper's Paratime series, yet Carr has a very interesting project in mind. The connecting material he has added between the two portions of Piper's original novella and the final, third section of the expanded novel added at the end does an excellent job of integrating Beam's first story, about a middle-aged man nearly killed in a nuclear war whose consciousness is somehow transported back in time to his teenage body, into the "First Level" story line begun in Piper's Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen and continued in Carr's sequels
