"Lord Kalvan" is part of the Paratime series. But the _Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen_ novel is a fixup of novelettes that originally appeared in Analog.

There's a "authorized sequel" called Great King's War by John Carr and Roland Green, published by Ace in the early 90's. John F. Carr has also produced two self-published further works in the series: "Kalvan Kingmaker" and "The Siege of Tarr-Hostigos". I have the first of them, but not the second.

I had mixed emotions about Great King's War. I thought it was a logical extension to Lord Kalvan, but disagreed with the direction various of the characters were taken in.

I'll get to Kalvan Kingmaker at some point, but folks I know who have read it seem less than thrilled, and think Carr is pursuing his own agenda rather than carrying on Piper's. That sort of thing is always a subjective judgment call, based on the understanding of the original author's style, tone, and direction, and whether the reader shares the same understanding as the new author.
