Fuzzy Nation

In John Scalzi's reimagining of H. Beam Piper's classic Little Fuzzy, independent contractor Jack Holloway navigates life on the distant planet Zarathustra, where he uncovers a fortune in jewels just as ZaraCorp attempts to sever ties with him. As he secures his legal claim, an unexpected turn occurs when he encounters a small, adorable being that challenges ZaraCorp's assertions about the planet's sentience. Jack's discovery raises questions about the corporation's legitimacy and sets the stage for a conflict that could jeopardize both the newfound wealth and the existence of the fuzzys.
