This is probably one of the best of H. Beam Piper's Paratime Series. With a short novella, 99 pages, you don't get the level of involvement that you would get with a novel, but, surprisingly, with Piper's Paratime stories, all short stories or similar length novellas, you actually get a great deal of action, adventure, and a glimpse into a parallel reality. With Piper's Paratime series I feel that this should have been a longer, more involved and more developed series of stories, perhaps even a series of novels. Then again, this was a story written for the media of the time, primarily periodicals, and many stories were serialized over several issues. As with so much of his other work, Piper's Paratime stories are crammed with action, plot twists, and thoughtful observations on politics, religion, social mores...etc. Piper was creative, inventive, willing to explore the impact of religion on politics, science on society, and so on. Yet he always seemed to deliver the sort of action packed adventure that so many have come to identify with science fiction. Piper's work, most of it from almost 60 years ago, holds up amazingly well. His views on socialism and fascism are certainly tinged with a 1950's view of the Red Peril of his day, yet, he never seems to lose sight of plot, characters, and above all; action. In spite of the political and social commentary woven into many of his tales, Piper never seems to lose the tempo of the action or the track of the plot. He never goes off on a tangent, and he never wastes words. I just wish he had written more.For free on Kindle. Every one of Piper's works is worth reading.

Time Crime H Beam Piper 9781470009397 Books Reviews
excellent read absolutely amazing how the story was written would like to read more stories like this one from the same author and others alike great vacation book not too short not too long just right thanks
His death by suicide was one of the worse things to ever happen to science fiction!
Piper is just enjoyable. He writes very well. If you enjoy this book, check out his "Fuzzy" series. they are all great!
Very good
This is an excellent combination of two H. Beam Piper original stories into a Gestalt with Carr's own work bridging and extending the two themes into a coherent even better novella is a great example of how to do this kind of work. Highly recommended to all fans of Piper or even those who just love classic 1960's sci-fi at its best.
This is an expanded version of Beam Piper's original.
The first two thirds are Beam Piper's original story.
This part of the book I give five stars.
The last third has been written after Beam Piper' death by Carr.
I rate it between one and two stars.
I enjoyed the whole Time Crime series, of which only the last had that title. The others, the loosely attached
He Walked Around the Horses;
Genesis;
Police Operation;
Last Enemy;
Temple Trouble; and finally, this volume
Time Crime
Each was better then the one before it, and I really wish there were several more.
