From New York Times bestseller and Hugo Award-winner John Scalzi, a trade paperback repackage of his extraordinary retelling of the SF classic Little Fuzzy--now with a new cover!
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, ridiculously cute small furry creatures--who are as much people as we are.

John Scalzi is an science fiction author.
The central ethical issues were already there in "Little Fuzzy," the H Beam Piper novel that "Fuzzy Nation" is a reboot of. All I did was put a (slightly) different spin on it. I very much encourage reading the Piper novel to see the differences; it's on @gutenberg_org. https://t.co/j9C2QNsJ2c
