The planet is fully owned by the Chartered Zarathustra Company, whose chief export is the highly valued sunstones – the fossilized remains of ancient bioluminescent sea creatures who went extinct eons ago. Taking place on the planet Zarathustra, in a future where humanity has colonized the stars, Jack Holloway is a freelance sunstone miner. Unless you’ve been living under a rock and never, and never go to the movies, you’re sure to recognize some themes here. I suppose it should be considered Young Adult, as there is no overt violence or sex or danger. No one should have to wait this long to read Little Fuzzy, one of the cutest books ever written. The volume we own is called The Fuzzy Papers, and it includes the first two Fuzzy novels – Little Fuzzy (originally published 1962) and The Other Human Race (originally published in 1964 and later titled Fuzzy Sapiens). I’m embarrassed to say it’s taken me this long to pick up a Piper. Beam Piper, who at the time, I’d never heard of. I had a lot of Heinlein and Herbert and Asimov and random chick lit, he had a lot of McCaffrey and Herbert and Heinlein and Tolkien, and lots and lots of H. When my husband and I got our first apartment, one of our first purchases was a bookcase, for we both showed up with boxes and boxes of books. The Fuzzy Papers (includes Little Fuzzy and The Other Human Race) by H.
