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.

I'm normally a fast reader but I downed this especially quick because the pacing was great, the characters simple (except Jack) but amazing, and I kept picturing an episode of Matlock or Perry Mason with sardonic actors and Lenny for Law and Order in my head. If your favorite part of a court show or movie is when the good guy has the gotcha moment and you love other Scalzi characters then there is no reason this book can't become a favorite of yours.

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.

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