THE H. BEAM PIPER MEGA SCIENCE FICTION COLLECTION includes nearly forty novels and short stories by noted science fiction writer H. Beam Piper.  He is best known for his extensive Terro-Human Future History series, which explores 6,000 years of future history beginning with the splitting of the atom in 1942 (year 1, Atomic Era), through a devastating nuclear war, to the establishment of the Terran Federation when humanity develops space travel.  Piper also wrote the "Paratime" alternate history tales, in which time traveling police struggle to keep secret the knowledge of parallel timeline travel -- partly to avoid chaos, and partly to protect their world's lucrative trade with the people of other timelines.

Henry (or Horace) Beam Piper (1904-1964) was an American science fiction writer best known for his extensive Terro-Human Future History series of stories as well as the "Paratime" alternate history tales.  Largely self-educated, Piper worked as a night watchman for a railroad before writing and publishing a series of short stories in the 1950s.  Piper eventually wrote several loosely-related space opera series and several highly-acclaimed novels, one of which, LITTLE FUZZY, won a Hugo Award in 1963.  He committed suicide in 1964.
