À propos de cet e-book
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.
À propos de l'auteur
Born on March 23, 1904, in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Henry Beam Piper educated himself after being expelled from high school. He began working for the Pennsylvania Railroad as an engineer and night watchman at age eighteen, but retained a strong interest in history and science that would inspire him to become a writer and carry forward as themes in many of his works. His first published work was the mystery novel Murder in the Gunroom; he wrote several other science fiction novels and short stories before publishing his most famous work, Little Fuzzy, in 1962. Although his work received little acclaim during his lifetime, he gained a strong and loyal fan base following his tragic death in 1964, at age 60. While biographers differ on the reason Piper took his own life, most cite a combination of family and financial problems; he had thought his career was failing because his agent had died without informing him of multiple sales. Piper wrote two sequels to Little Fuzzy: Fuzzy Sapiens (published in 1964), and Fuzzies and Other People (written in 1964 but not published until 1984).
