OK, but doesn't stand well alone By wiredweird "Police operation" comes from Piper's Paratime series (not that they're especialy serial) - a prototypical "alternate worlds" story, note the "worlds" plural. Some verion of humanity in some time-stream has discovered how to move between possible alternatives to their world and, just as importantly, back again. And, when anyone can, lots do, and that includes the bad guys. Where there are bad guys there are cops, and that's where the Paratinme Police come in.By itself, it amuses adequately. The reader catches on to the basics quickly, but without lecturing. Conspiracy theorists (and debunkers, I'm sure) will appreciate the cleanup tactics used to cover up the occasional breach, when advanced technology show up on worlds not nearly ready.But, in itself, I couldn't find it wholly satisfying - lots of mechanism for modest (if somewhat enjoyable) plot. In sure that, as part of a collection, this and other writings would bolster each other. United, the stories would stand well together. Divided from the others, this seems to fall.-- wiredweird

Good short story, part of the Paratime Series By Fantasyman This is a fairly brief short story, concerning a Paratime Police operation to eliminate a nasty pest that has been brought through Paratime into another timeline, one where interplanetary travel doesn't exist. The story concerns the actions routinely taken by the Paratime Police to keep the secret of Paritime safe, and provides a brief glimpse into the world of Paratime.H. Beam Piper was a talented writer, his science fiction and time travel stories not only contain some interesting aspects of science, but also; religion, psychology, politics, as well as social mores of the day. In a way I view them as time capsules of life in the late'40s and early '50s, where the struggle between communism and capitalism, democracy and tyranny, politics and religion, unfolds as a free-for-all overshadowed by the pervasive, looming threat of nuclear annihilation. Mean while, everyone is chain smoking and having a cocktail.For free on Kindle.

The story opens on a farm somewhere in America. A farmer, a state trooper, and a game warden examine the mutilated carcasses of a cow and a dog, debating the question of what or who is killing livestock in the region. Could it be a bobcat, a lynx, or a psycho with a machete? Given that this novella was written by sci-fi visionary H. Beam Piper, you can bet that the real answer is going to be a lot weirder than all of the above.H. G. Wells may have invented time traveler fiction, but Piper built his whole career around it, perfected the subgenre, and made it his own. Police Operation is the foundational installment in a sequence of stories Piper wrote through the mid-'60s known as the Paratime series. There's actually an earlier story, He Walked Around the Horses, that touches on the Paratime universe, but the connection is tangential at best, and its here in Police Operation that Piper really lays the groundwork for the Paratime concept. As one would expect from Piper, this ain't your typical time travel. Rather than going back to the past or forward to the future, paratime travelers explore the multiple alternate timelines that form from myriad deviations in historical events. The timeline in which we live, presumably the same as the story's opening scene, is only one of a possibly infinite variety of timelines that simultaneously exist in parallel universes.The rather mundane title of the story is actually quite fitting in an ironic way. The police in question are the Paratime Police, an organization that patrols the various timelines, keeping the temporal peace, if you will. One of the fun things about the story is that Piper has written it much in the style and tone of a traditional cop story. The Paratime Police practice their profession and talk shop just like normal cops, except their daily work involves the intricate complexities of theoretical physics and a lot of futuristic gadgets. When the timecops are sitting around the station jawing with one another, it could be an episode of Dragnet or Barney Miller, but for the references to "mavrads" and "hypno-mech indoctrination."Like any good cop story, this is more than just a police procedural; it's an action-adventure story as well. As if the fascinating universe Piper has created isn't enough, there's also more than enough suspense to keep you interested. For today's readers, Police Operation offers plenty of pulp fiction nostalgia, yet it's still remarkably fresh and thought-provoking as if it could have been written just yesterday. If you've never read Piper before, this would be a good place to start. I for one am hooked, and look forward to further adventures in the Paratime series.
