Stories in The Paratime Series
These stories were written by Piper:
- He Walked Around the Horses (Astounding Science Fiction Magazine, April 1948)
- Police Operation (Astounding Science Fiction Magazine, July 1948)
- Last Enemy (Astounding Science Fiction Magazine, August, 1950)
- Temple Trouble (Astounding Science Fiction Magazine, April, 1951)
- Genesis (Future Magazine, September, 1951)
- Time Crime (novella) (Astounding Science Fiction Magazine, February and March 1955)
- Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen (novel) (Analog Science Fiction, 1965) in two parts: "Gunpowder God" and "Down Styphon!"
A sequel to Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen, Great Kings' War, was written by Roland J. Green and John F. Carr.
Some persons dispute He Walked Around The Horses and Genesis being Paratime stories, however Genesis is the account of a group of Martian colonists arriving on Earth between 75,000 and 100,000 years ago exactly as described by Piper in several of his Paratime Police stories. All of the names used in Genesis follow the conventions used in all of the Paratime stories but not used in Piper's other stories. Additionally the events in He Walked Around The Horses are referred to by Tortha Karf in the story Police Operation where he describes the event briefly to Verkan Vall.
