CAVEAT FUZZY by Wolfgang Diehr is his sequel to Fuzzy Ergo Sum and the second new book continuing the Fuzzy series of novels first begun by H. Beam Piper. Little Fuzzy was H. Beam Piper's bestselling novel and was nominated for a Hugo award in 1963. The book's popularity has not diminished since it was initially published and has been reprinted in numerous editions.
On the pleasant backwater planet of Zarathustra things had
been relatively quiet since the famous duel between Jack
Holloway and his recently discovered son, Morgan. Unless one
considers the potential ramifications of the alien rocket ship
discovered on the secondary landmass of Beta Continent. The new
owners of Bowlby Inter-planetary Network (BIN) attack Ben
Rainsford's governorship and the Yellowsand mining treaty with
the Charterless Zarathustra Company using the recently
discovered rocket and what appear to be the fossils of giant
Fuzzies. If Rainsford's government is legally challenged, what
will happen to the Fuzzies?
Equally disturbing is the unrest evident among the Northern Beta
Fuzzies. Things are brought to a head when a member of the
colonial government is taken hostage by Fuzzies - tempers flare
and only Jack Holloway may be able to stop hostilities before
they grow into a full-out war. The government, the CZC, and the
Fuzzies are all in danger as events overtake them, as Caveat
Fuzzy brings to a conclusion the events related in Fuzzy Ergo
Sum.
