H. Beam Piper's Terro-Human Future History is a loosely connected sequence of science fiction stories and novels charting roughly six thousand years of imagined human history, from the dawn of the atomic age through nuclear war, interstellar colonization, and the rise and fall of federations and empires, in the same spirit as Heinlein's own Future History. Piper wrote the core installments before his death in 1964, and later writers including John F. Carr, William Tuning, Dietmar Wehr, and Terry Mancour extended the timeline with further novels, among them the Federation-era books and the Fuzzy sequence gathered elsewhere on this site.
