About this eBook

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.

Scalzi re-imagines a first contact story with unique characters and roles. The main characters are the sort I've come to love the author for! One of the best weekend reads I've had in a while!

The twist is really good but overall is just okay. I mean you can guess much parts of the story. Entertaining enough.

I read the original H. Beam Piper in high school and loved it. I bought this book thinking it was a continuation rather than a reboot. If I had now it was a reboot I likely wouldn't have bought it. I'm not one for messing with classics. I'm glad I did though. It is a really really good reboot. In particular the human characters are vastly more dimensional. The science is updated, though that is to be expected. I hope he writes another.
