This is just a note to let people know about a neat discovery i.e., that the Copyrights expired without renewal on a lot of H. Beam Piper's harder to find stories and they are now on the Project Gutenberg Website. All are free downloads.

Use the article link here to take you to the Author's Page for the letter "P" and then scroll down to H. Beam Piper and download to your heart's content.

For those not familiar with "Beam" then you are in for a treat as he likely would have wound up on par with Heinlein, but did not gain the same level of notoriety. His end is a sad story in that, thinking himself a failure, in debt, and not wanting to be a burden on others he took his own life. All the while John W. Campbell was trying to get a check to him for some of his work. However, his books live on. Little Fuzzy is a classic and a great read for any fan of classic Science Fiction.

They're not rejoicing about the SciFi channel changing its name to "SyFy."
