H. Beam Piper

            H. Beam Piper has been my favorite storyteller since the early '80's.  I discovered him through an employee at a game shop who told me about the influence of Space Viking on the role-playing game Traveller.  Since that was during the time of the Ace reprints, I got hooked (and have since worn out many a copy of Space Viking as well as other Piper books).

            The following file is based on the posting by William Taylor to the Piper Mailing List on 2/26/2001.  I did a rough conversion to import it into ChView (here are some screenshots of this file from ChView).  This information is based strictly on what William posted and has not been corrected for orientation to galactic coordinates.

            Here is a Java version of ChView showing the TFH Federation according to the above files.

            One of the best Piper websites I have found is at www.zarthani.net

            Here is H. Beam Piper's Rebel Raider article from the December 1950 True Magazine.  I finally got it OCR'd and cleaned up.  If you find anything that looks like an error, please let me know and I will go back and verify it from the original text.
