John F. Carr's Paratime Sequels

"Well, you need a man who'd know the historical background, and you'd need a man with a powerful creative imagination, who is used to using it inside rigorously defined limits."
— H. Beam Piper, "Crossroads of Destiny"

Author and Piper biographer John F. Carr, who edited four anthologies of Piper's short stories in the 1980's, has (co-)authored several sequels to Piper's Paratime novel Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen. Carr has also expanded Piper's 1955 Paratime novella "Time Crime" into a full-length novel. Carr's Pequod Press has issued the definitive editions of each of these works.
