Review: A good collection from the legend of old SF

The sad thing is that so many have forgotten the works of H Beam Piper. Along with Robert A Heinlein and Isaac Asimov, Piper wrote within a consistent future history. His works are intriguing and a good lesson in history, with depth and references to keep serious readers involved. It's a real pity the cycle was never completed, as the gaps left his histories a little fuzzy (in joke for HBP fans). Reading his works emphasises what a tragedy that the world lost such a talent so early, as this is quality story writing. Enjoy
