      It is amazing foundational science fiction story. Once you’ve read it, you’ll see many of its ideas and themes in many other great works of science fiction literature. Perhaps the most recognizable is as the inspiration for the Ewoks from Star Wars. (In my personal opinion inspiration is a bit of a stretch, Ewoks are pretty much a direct copy.)

          Here’s what you’re want to do: If you wind up liking “Little Fuzzy,” then follow it up with “Fuzzy Sapiens” and then “Fuzzy Bones.” Skip the third novel actually written by H. Beam Piper, read instead the one they hired someone else to write before they found his third manuscript.

          The reason why it needs to be that way is actually really interesting, but I can’t tell you without important spoilers. Sorry. Anyway, that’s what you should do, if you get done with them all then send me a DM and I’ll explain about what’s in Piper’s third novel that makes me recommend it that way.

    Holy shit. I had completely forgotten about this book.

    Actually I still can’t remember it because I was young when I read it, but I def remember the artwork.
