At the time of his tragic death, H. Beam Piper was rapidly decoming acknowledged as peer and heir of authors like Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov. Like Heinlein and Asimov, Piper had a towering vision, a Future History that transcended millennia, a vision in which the rise and fall of empires was the ebb and flow of the tides of destiny.
Here then is the bedrock of that vision; a time ancient beyond reckoning, a time when Man had first ventured forth among the stars and was groping toward social norms that would sustain him in his new environment - a time of FEDERATION.
