Well, since people keep asking for book lists, I'm going to keep producing
them to order.

The is for H. Beam Piper, best known for his Fuzzy novels.  I prefer his
paratime (alternate history / timetravel) novels myself.  There's something
about the worlds he created that stick with you: several authors have
written "sequels" to his stories (which are listed below).

[J] == The book is for juveniles (however you define them)
[C] == Short Story Collection.
[O] == Omnibus.  Includes other books.
aka == Also known by this other title.

I mailed this list to a couple of people, but it looks like I'd better
post it as well.

(1) Federation                   short stories
(1) Empire                       short stories
(2) Paratime                     short stories
    The World of H.Beam Piper    short stories
(1) Little Fuzzy
(1) Fuzzy Sapiens                aka   The Other Human Race
(1) Fuzzies and Other People
(2) Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen     aka   Gunpowder God
(1) The Cosmic Computer
(1) Uller Uprising
(1) Space Viking
(1) Four-day Planet              novella, usually published together with:
    Lone Star Planet             novella, aka   A Planet for Texans
    First Cycle                  posthumously completed by a co-author
(3) Murder in the Gunroom        mystery, not SF, unpublished
(4) Only the Arquebus            historical, not SF

(1) These all belong in the Terra-Humano-Federation timeline.
(2) Paratime Police "series".
(3) Though I can't find any trace of this being published, people keep
    quoting the same quote from it.
(4) Unpublished. Possible uncompleted.

William Tuning wrote a book called "Fuzzy Bones" which was a sequel to the
first two Fuzzy books. It had some nice ideas, but unfortunately it is not
compatible with the (published later but definitive) Fuzzies and Other People.
