ppint. 17th Nov 2017		Rated 8/10 aka "fuzzy sapiens", q.v. sequel to "little fuzzy", q.v. the now charterless mining company can only regain its monopoly of the starstone trade, and its immense former profitability, by one of two routes: proving the fuzzies are not in fact an intelligent, self-aware native species, after all - or by demonstrating that, though they may have been, they're now extinct. and safest course would be to pursue a "belt and braces" policy - after all, the lives of a couple of hundred furry animals cannot be allowed to get in the way of saving the company, and the thousands of jobs in the colony that depend on it, no matter how charming they are as pets. . . there are three sequels to this novel, two "by another hand" as piper's own third fuzzynovel was lost, believed destroyed after being rejected by publishers following the dreadful sales figures for "the other human race" and, upon ace books doing rather well with their revival of the first and second, two further fuzzynovels were commissioned with the approval of h. beam piper's estate. these two were "fuzzy bones" by william tuning (q.v.), and "golden dream: a fuzzy odyssey" by ardath mayhar (q.v.). then the manuscript of h. beam piper's original third fuzzynovel was discovered, and it in turn was published, entitled "fuzzies and other people" (q.v.). all are well worth reading, though a little mental juggling is necessary to explain some inconsistency in the development of the legal and commercial background against which the fascinating story of the fuzzies and their friends have to fight: but all in all, they make up a delightful story of first contact, and what then transpires. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
