This is the sequel to the author's classic novel, "Little Fuzzy."Originally published under the title "The Other human Race." This description may be from another edition of this product.
In this excellent sequel to Little Fuzzy, all of the people involved in the first book begin to settle into their new lives. For Victor Grego, head of the now Charterless Zarathustra Company, things get complicated when a Fuzzy walks into his high-security apartment. Somebody is kidnapping Fuzzies, but why? So, as Ben Rainsford runs the new colonial government, and Victor Grego runs the company, both try to keep an eye on each other, an eye on Hugo Ingermann who runs the criminal underworld, and an eye out for the Fuzzy-nappers...this is going to get complicated! This book was written in 1964, a mere two years after Little Fuzzy, and is every bit as good! (It was originally issued under the title The Other Human Race.) As with the first book, this one starts off somewhat slow, lulling the reader, but without you even noticing, it speeds up, until it is simply impossible to put down. H. Beam Piper, though little remembered now, was one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time. He writes simple, realistic stories, showing people in another place and time acting just as you could easily imagine them acting. This is a great book!
Every bit as good as the first book!

Great novel. It was the first book that I had read of Piper's, so I was uneasy. That feeling was soon put to rest with his story of those little beings. I am now trying to find out all that I can about these marvelous creatures. The novel was a great mix of romance, action, comedy, and a John Grisham-type law area.
