Yes, same here. I suspect that the two major reasons that modern readers have ever heard of H Beam Piper is because 1) many of his works went into public domain and 2) because Jerry Pournelle knew him and mentioned his works a fair amount, stirring up interest not only in the original works, but also generating interest by other authors who write in the shared world.
