This classic science fiction series is part of the Future History series
that H. Beam Piper worked on throughout his life. It was written at the
dawn of the space age, when authors like Piper, Isaac Asimov, Philip K.
Dick, and others gave us fascinating looks into what life in future,
interstellar civilizations might be like.
In this story, a Galactic Empire of thousands of planets has been at
peace for hundreds of years. Production all across the Empire is
regulated to keep markets and economies stable. With this kind of system
in place, why is there suddenly a plot to overthrow the current Emperor,
and who is behind it?
A story with strong characters and an intricate plot, Ministry of
Disturbance is another gem from a master of the sci-fi genre.
