Little Fuzzy

Before Ewoks… Before Avatar… There Were Fuzzies!

A Fine New Edition of a Beloved Science Fiction Classic

Prospector Jack Holloway is happy with his solitary life, mining for sunstones in the wilds of backwater planet Zarathustra.

Until a small, curious visitor shows up in his shower one day—and proceeds to upend not only Jack’s life, but a whole lot of others’ as well…including the powerful company whose immensely lucrative charter depends on Zarathustra’s having no sapient natives.

Rediscover H. Beam Piper’s delightful tale of adorable, indigenous Fuzzies and their human friends pitted against a massive corporation willing to use every trick at its disposal—up to and including genocide—to keep its hold over the planet.

This edition includes a foreword by New York Times bestselling author John Scalzi, author of Fuzzy Nation and Starter Villain.

About the Author
H. Beam Piper

Henry Beam Piper (March 23, 1904 – c. November 6, 1964) was an American science fiction writer. He wrote many short stories and several novels. He is best known for his extensive Terro-Human Future History series of stories and a shorter series of "Paratime" alternate history tales.

He wrote under the name H. Beam Piper. Another source gives his name as "Horace Beam Piper" and a different date of death. His gravestone says "Henry Beam Piper". Piper himself may have been the source of part of the confusion; he told people the H stood for Horace, encouraging the assumption that he used the initial because he disliked his name. On a copy of Little Fuzzy given to Charles O. Piper, Beam's cousin and executor, he wrote "To Charles from Henry."
