H. Beam Piper... (scrathes head) AHH!
The Pensylvania State Trooper; time shifted... awsome stuff... Conan-ish; as I recall; bringing gunpowder technology to a seiged civilization. Author committed suicide; work largely unsucessful at the time; late 60's?? Been so long...
Or it could be I got him confused with somebody else.........................

Stephons house or something like that was the title. He acutally used the gunpowder thing in 2 places, one a short story, one a fledged out full novel.
