3.0 out of 5 stars Misleading, March 29, 2010

Sci Fi publishers have been trying to disguise short story collections as novels for some time but to call this 32 "books" is flat-out misrepresentation. I knew that when I bought it, inasmuch as dear old H.Beam never wrote 32 books in his abbreviated career. But that doesn't make the misrepresentation any better.

Having said that, it is still a worthwhile collection, although I think the Table of Contents should have been better edited to make clear which are stories, which novellas and which are novels. It's a shame Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen is not included.

Little Fuzzy is here but Lord Kalvan is missing. Many of his other "time" stories are represented as well as some non-science-fiction tales. Of particular interest to me was the short biography of Mosby.
H. Beam Piper has the ability to tell a story simply and clearly and yet deal with subjects that can be convoluted and twisted.
If you are a returning reader, you will feel at home immediately. If you are a new reader, settle back for some fun.

I have been collecting H. Beam Piper stories for a number of years. This is a wonderful collection of short stories and novels that I had not seen in print (read them all). While the title states this is 32 books, most are short short stories. Also, due to an editing error, where a short story does not have a break. It also includes a 33 book, the novel Space Viking. The books are: Little Fuzzy, The Cosmic Computer, Space Viking, and the Uller Uprising. It contains a couple short books, Four Day Planet, and Lone Star Planet. The remainder are a set of hard to find short stories. If you are an H. Beam Piper fan, this is a good one for your collection.
