Piper's Terro-human Future History is a future-historical science-fiction series which imagines the expansion of the human race from its origins on Earth (Terra) out into the galaxy.  Consisting of the novels of Piper's famous Fuzzy trilogy (1962 et al.), Piper's novels Uller Uprising (1952), Four-Day Planet (1961), Junkyard Planet (1963)—also known as The Cosmic Computer, and Space Viking (1962), and eight Piper stories originally published in pulp science-fiction magazines between 1957 and 1962 (originally reissued, along with an additional, previously-unpublished story, in the Piper collections Federation and Empire edited by John F. Carr, and more recently in Carr's The Rise of the Terran Federation), the Terro-human Future History spans over thirty millennia of future history.
