Subject: PIPER-L Landgrab claim

To: piperfan (at) zarthani (dot) net

I'd like to post a claim on the First Century Atomic Era in the great Piper

Landgrab. Although I am very new to the Piper Mailing List and such, I have

been reading and annotating Piper's work for over twenty years, just because

it fascinates me. I am a professional historian and long-term sf

afficionado, and I think that I can do justice to the period between AE 1 and

the break-up of the First Federation around the time of the first

interstellar voyages and the Venus secession. Admittedly my work in this

area will be sporadic (it has to fit in around the edges of teaching and more

formal research and writing) but I'd like to take a stab at it.
