 Free SF Reader April 6, 2008
The Paratime Police have a tougher job than The Time Patrol types in other books, in that there are other realities they have to worry about, as well as other times.
Chasing down miscreants into other possible pasts is just a bit more problematic. Here, the Paratime Police are given their reason for being, as they have to solve a case.
 Piper's most interesting Paratime novel August 3, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
With the transition of much of H. Beam Piper's work into the public domain publishers like Aegypan Press have finally begun to bring Piper's work back into print and for that fans of Piper owe them a debt of gratitude. While Piper's novel Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen is perhaps the most well-known of Piper's Paratime yarns it is Time Crime that gives us the most extensive insight into the "First Level" civilization that guards the Paratime Secret of a multitude of parallel worlds while simultaneously exploiting them for its own gain. In this novel the Paratime Police discover a cross-time slavery ring run by the Wizard Traders, a shadowy organization with ties to powerful interests in First Level society. Led by Verkan Vall--known by Lord Kalvan in his undercover role as "Trader Verkan"--the Paracops seek to discover the hidden base of the Wizard Traders while the mysterious crime syndicate's allies seek to erode political support for the Paratime Police at home. Part crime drama, part political intrigue, and all sci-fi action this novel is a great introduction to Piper's Paratime stories and to his work more generally.
Also recommended from Piper's Paratime Chronicles are Last Enemy, The Complete Paratime, and the authorized Lord Kalvan sequels Great Kings' War, Kalvan Kingmaker, and Siege of Tarr-Hostigos.
