H. Beam Piper
H. Beam Piper is an author of whose works I am particularly fond.
I especially like
Space Viking
,
The Cosmic Computer
,
and
Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen
. They are all semi-space opera, and have horrible titles, but are
a lot of fun. They are all pretty good, but the above three are
(for today anyway) my favorites. Most of his books fall into either
his
Paratime
or
Terra-Human Future History
serieses (seria?).
One further note. Most of his titles seem extremely lame by today's
standards, more suited to the type of prose found in books
by
E. E. "Doc" Smith
, than the somewhat more modern prose of Piper,
although I like Smith's writing too.
