I'm going out on a limb here--and I know it. I suspect that Piper had an artistic temperament. Was he averse to turning out reams of prose at a time when other writers were cramming out page after page? John Brunner. Robert Silverberg. Harlan Ellison before his revolutionary works. Did Piper want to redeem a perceived slight to his artistry?
