Publisher Description
From New York Times bestseller and Hugo Award-winner John Scalzi, an extraordinary retelling of the SF classic Little Fuzzy
ZaraCorp holds the right to extract unlimited resources from the verdant planet Zarathustra—as long as the planet is certifiably free of native sentients. So when an outback prospector discovers a species of small, appealing bipeds who might well turn out to be intelligent, language-using beings, it's a race to stop the corporation from "eliminating the problem," which is to say, eliminating the Fuzzies—wide-eyed and ridiculously cute small, and furry—who are as much people as we are.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this gripping estate-authorized reboot of H. Beam Piper's Hugo-nominated 1962 classic Little Fuzzy, Scalzi (Old Man's War) changes the hero from a grandfatherly miner to a handsome hunk and updates the plot with new events while retaining the prescient focus on ecological concerns. Disbarred lawyer Jack Holloway, prospecting on Zara XXIII for ZaraCorp, finds an immensely valuable stream of sunstone. But this find pales beside the cuteness of a catlike native biped who shows up at Holloway's house the same day. Holloway forwards footage of the "fuzzies" to a biologist friend, who believes they are sentient but if they are, Zara XXIII and its sunstone must be abandoned. Enter hired company thugs, murder, and arson. A perfectly executed plot clicks its way to a stunning courtroom showdown in a cathartic finish that will thrill Fuzzy fans old and new.
Customer Reviews
A Great Read!
I read the original version of this story and loved it, so was curious to see what John Scalzi could bring to the story line. I was very happy to see he improved on and enriched the story to such an extent I found it difficult to put the book down. Interesting, exciting and moving; at times he brought tears to my eyes and other times I had to laugh. Thanks for a thoroughly entertaining read - my only complaint is that it ended too soon!
Good
Just when you think you’ve got it figured out there’s another twist to the story
Another Great Read
Once I started this one, I couldn't stop until it was over... Too fast. Good story, interesting characters, and plenty of humor. Get it and read it!
