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)

  • 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.

Famous quotes containing the words stories in, stories and/or series:

    The affair between Margot Asquith and Margot Asquith will live as one of the prettiest love stories in all literature.
    Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

    We live in a highly industrialized society and every member of the Black nation must be as academically and technologically developed as possible. To wage a revolution, we need competent teachers, doctors, nurses, electronics experts, chemists, biologists, physicists, political scientists, and so on and so forth. Black women sitting at home reading bedtime stories to their children are just not going to make it.
    Frances Beale, African American feminist and civil rights activist. The Black Woman, ch. 14 (1970)

    Rosalynn said, “Jimmy, if we could only get Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat up here on this mountain for a few days, I believe they might consider how they could prevent another war between their countries.” That gave me the idea, and a few weeks later, I invited both men to join me for a series of private talks. In September 1978, they both came to Camp David.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
