H. Beam Piper (1904–1964) built one of science fiction's most coherent future histories, the sprawling Terro-Human sequence, and wrote the warm, sharp Little Fuzzy, whose small furry aliens raise large questions about what it means to be a person. A self-educated railroad worker with a deep love of history, he brought real intellectual substance to pulp adventure. His reputation has only grown since his death.
