Welcome to the Zarthani.net H. Beam Piper mailing list and discussion forum. Initiated in October 2008 (after the demise of the original PIPER-L mailing list), this tool for shared communication among Piper fans provides an e-mail list and a discussion forum with on-line archives.

Moderation will focus on keeping the discussion related to H. Beam Piper in a broadly interpreted sense. Off-topic posts or ad hominem comments will not be approved for posting and repeat offenders may be banned from posting to the list.
 
There is an annual subscription fee required to keep this list/forum free of advertisements and to provide expanded functionality such as the capability to post images.

Another Year of H. Beam Piper Discussion

The annual subscription fee has now been paid--with support from several Piper fans! Thank you to those of you who have made contributions in support of the Piper Mailing List (and this Discussion Forum).

For those of you who made a contribution I'd like to offer a little reward. I will send you any one of the following Piper-related paperbacks from the Zarthani.net hoard (at no charge):

~Space Viking~, Ace, 1963 (F-225), with cover illustration by Ed Valigursky (two copies)

~The Cosmic Computer~, Ace, 1964 (F-274), with cover illustration by Ed Valigursky (two copies)

~Alternatives~ (anthology), Robert Adams and Pamela Crippen Adams, eds., Baen, 1989, with "Kalvan Kingmaker" by Roland Green and John F. Carr (short story expanded into ~Kalvan Kingmaker~; two copies)

~Armageddon!~ (anthology), Jerry Pournelle and John F. Carr, eds., Tor, 1989, with "Siege at Tarr-Hostigos" by Roland Green and John F. Carr (short story expanded into ~Siege of Tarr-Hostigos~; one copy)

Please let me know if you'd like one of these small tokens of appreciation. (I will distribute them on a first-come, first-serve basis so let me know your top two or three choices in case someone else gets your first choice ahead of you.)

If nothing catches your interest here, please have a look at the rest of the Zarthani.net Piper Hoard:

http://www.zarthani.net/h_beam_piper_hoard.htm

I only have duplicates of the more common items (mostly the Ace reprints) but if you'd rather have one of those, and I have a duplicate, I'll be happy send it along instead.

Here's to another year of Piper discussion!

Hello Piper Fans:

It's time again to pay the annual fee ($US54) necessary to keep this mailing list and forum archive free of advertisements and to enable features like image posting. You can support this shared resource by making a contribution in an amount of your choice using the PayPal link at the top of the Discussion Forum page. (You don't need a PayPal account to make a donation, just a credit card.)

I will pay the fee again this year, regardless of any contributions, but I do use this annual ritual as an indicator of interest in Piper-related discussion at Zarthani.net. Looking at the message traffic over the past year, it seems we're paying a bit less than a dollar and a half per message sent to the two dozen or so of us who are subscribed to the mailing list. (I don't know how may people might be reading the forum archive without being subscribed to the mailing list.) So I hope you'll take advantage of this opportunity to express your interest in continued Piper-related discussion.

Thank you for whatever amount of support you choose to provide.

Have a merry solstice holiday, however you celebrate it, and best wishes for the New Year.

David
