Turns out to be a short story which later became the novel _Junkyard
Planet_/_The Cosmic Computer_. I recall the novel as being better.
Thanks for the reference! I was surprised to see they also have
several Edgar Rice Burroughs stories. - A. McIntire

In fact I'm wondering now if the Ace reissues where I first read Piper's

I see on the PG "recently posted' page that a couple of Andre Norton's
books have been added. (Also War and Peace.)

I hadn't read this one before. It's funny, from the first two words of
the story, I kept expecting the main character to pull out a sword.

I hadn't read this one either. Some of the concepts developed here were
mentioned in the early Paratime stories - I wonder why it wasn't included
in the Paratime anthology? (It's at least as much a Paratime story as "He
Walked Around Horses".)

This one, of course, is a classic Paratime work, and one of my favorites.
Will "The Other Human Race" make it onto Gutenberg, by any chance?

It is part of his future history. Note the name of the President
(and his son) in "The Mercenaries" - compare with the names of the
lawyer and his son in "Time and Time Again." Also, note that the
scientists in "The Mercenaries" are in the process of inventing
Collapsium.

Which led me to many others that hadn't been there when I last looked.
Thank you for the post. I now have man Pipers in a nice little

Ditto the thanks. I liked Omnilingual a lot when I first read it. I
just re-read it and still like it a lot.
- This is Archaeology Porn (to go with the Engineering Porn thread)
For more Arch Porn:
"High Weir" by Samuel R. Delany (Š 1968) is another take on future
archaeology on Mars.
Available online here:
<http://www.scifi.com/scifiction/classics/classics_archive/delany2/delany21.html>
"The Meaning of the Word" by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro (Š 1973) is also
about future archaeology.
Available online here:
<http://www.scifi.com/scifiction/classics/classics_archive/yarbro/yarbro1.html>
Trivial stuff on "Omnilingual":
- The html zip file:
- is much larger than the plain text zip file.
- Because it has the original illustrations!
- Has some words run together in my browser:
- Other html files from Project Gutenberg have the same problem.
- Bugged the heck out of me.
- This is due to the "<span class..." markup
- not being quite inserted properly.
- (or there's something wrong with my browser.)
- Global replace "<span" with " <span" to fix this.
^ note extra space.
- Try this on a safe copy.
- Remember to:
- save the file in the editor.
- then refresh it in your browser! (to get the changes.)
- There's a lot of cigarette smoking going on here.
- Used to good effect as well.
- Believe It Or Not. (BION)
- What's the difference between the 1970s and the 1990s? In the
1970s you'd go into a drugstore and loudly ask for cigarettes,
then whisper "...and a pack of condoms."
- "loess" and the archaeologist "Wincklemann"
- David Drake:
- generally slips in "loess" (or "karst") at some point.
- had an Archaeologist Class ship named "Wincklemann" in
"Lt. Leary Commanding."
- I said it was trivial, didn't I?

Ever since I first read "Omnilingual," I have considered it the
archetypal modern science fiction story, the way contemporaries thought
of "The Cold Equations" as the ultimate exemplar of what SF is all
about. So many attitudes of Campbellian SF are capsulated in
"Omnilingual" . . .
To me, it's very Asimovian: a puzzle story with no violence, very little
conflict, and no villains.
This is the longer version first published in the Twayne Triplet "The
Petrified Planet" and reissued by Ace. The introduction by John F. Carr
is included.
