H. Beam Piper began his publishing career with short fiction in the science fiction magazines of the late 1940s. His first published story, “Time and Time Again” (1947), appeared in Astounding Science Fiction and introduced readers to his clean, direct prose style. Over the next fifteen years, he produced a steady stream of stories for the major SF magazines.

Many of these stories fit into his larger fictional universes, building out the Terro-Human Future History or exploring Paratime concepts in shorter form. Others are standalone pieces. After Piper’s death in 1964, his short fiction was collected and reprinted in various editions, making these magazine stories available to readers who discovered his novels later.
