"Why Walt Disney bought the movie rights to ['Rebel Raider'], I've never figured out. Will Colonel Mosby be played by Mickey Mouse, and General Phil Sheridan by Donald Duck? It's baffling. However, I was glad to get the check." &mdash H. Beam Piper, The Pennsy interview Besides his Terrohuman Future History (TFH) and his Paratime Chronicles, Piper also published other novels, stories and non-fiction pieces that were not part of these two settings. Among these were his 1953 mystery novel Murder in the Gunroom and seven other short works including the linked, future historical "Hartley" yarns "Time and Time Again" (1947), "The Mercenaries" (1950), and "Day of the Moron" (1951). Piper collaborated on four science-fiction yarns with John J. McGuire: "Null-ABC" (1953), later reissued as Crisis in 2140 (1957), "The Return" (1954/1960), "Lone Star Planet" (1957), later reissued as A Planet for Texans (1958), and "Hunter Patrol" (1959). Most of these stories have been collected in the anthologies The Worlds of H. Beam Piper and Empire edited by John F. Carr. Piper also published an historical account, "Rebel Raider," of the exploits of a Confederate soldier which was adapted for television by Disney. Also included here are various Piper commentaries and critiques as well as information about the work of Piper collaborators and sequelists.
