About this ebook
ZNIDD SUDDABIT! So the Ulleran challenge begins, with the rantings of a prophet and a seemingly incidental street riot. Only when a dose of poison lands in the governor-general's whiskey does it become clear that the "geeks" have had it up to their double-lidded eyeballs with the imperialist Terran Federation's Chartered Uller Company. Then, overnight, war is everywhere. How it will end is in the (merely) two Terran hands of the new governor-general, a man shrewd enough to know that "it is easier to banish a habit of thought than a piece of knowledge." The problem is, the particular piece of knowledge he needs hasn't been used in 450 years. . . . (Goodreads)
About the author
H. Beam Piper, born Henry Beam Piper on March 23, 1904, in Altoona, Pennsylvania, was an American science fiction author whose work has left an indelible mark on the genre. Piper's life was as enigmatic as his fiction, shrouded in mystery and marked by a fierce independence. He was largely self-educated, a fact that fueled his imaginative and richly detailed narratives.Piper's most significant contribution to science fiction is his Terro-Human Future History series, which spans millennia and explores the rise and fall of human civilizations. His nuanced portrayal of future societies and the complexities of human nature has influenced contemporary writers like Jerry Pournelle and John Scalzi. Piper's work is often compared to that of Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein, yet his unique voice and perspective set him apart.One of the most intriguing aspects of Piper's career is his tragic end. In 1964, facing financial difficulties and disillusioned with his career's trajectory, Piper took his own life. This act has sparked much debate and speculation, adding a layer of poignancy to his legacy.Piper was a visionary who championed revolutionary ideas about human potential and societal evolution. His stories often grappled with themes of individualism, freedom, and the ethical use of technology. In an era when science fiction was still finding its footing, Piper's work stood out for its intellectual rigor and philosophical depth.Today, H. Beam Piper is celebrated not just for his storytelling prowess but also for his profound insights into the human condition. His legacy endures, inspiring new generations of readers and writers to explore the limitless possibilities of the future.
