Fuzzy Bones

By William Tuning

Book Overview

Decent men everywhere rejoiced in the Pendarvis Decision, which declared the species Fuzzy sapiens to be a sentient race entitled to all the rights and privileges of man. But of course that was only the beginning. Men had a long way to go before they would get over the habit of thinking of Fuzzies as adorable pets and begin to accept them as equals in the universe. The study of Fuzzies as a species had begun immediately, and some puzzling questions emerged: Where did Puzzles come from? What was their anthropology? Why did they seem such oddities, in many small but significant biological ways, on the planet where men found them? The answers that began to appear were startling- and potentially dangerous to the Fuzzies and to all who cared about them. H. BEAM PIPER ENDEARED HIMSELF TO MILLIONS OF READERS WITH LITTLE FUZZY AND FUZZY SAPIENS. NOW, AT LAST, THE STORY CONTINUES. WILLIAM TUNING HAS MADE AN EXHAUSTIVE STUDY OF PIPER'S CREATION, AND HAS HIMSELF CREATED A LABOR OF LOVE, A TRIBUTE TO ALL THAT PIPER STOOD FOR: FUZZY BONES This description may be from another edition of this product.

Very exciting and entertaining

H. Beam Piper (1904-64) enjoyed a brief career as a science-fiction author, which ended with his suicide in 1964. In 1963 he published Little Fuzzy, which revolved around the discovery of a race of small humanoids on a human-colonized world and the battle to get them recognized as a sapient race. In 1964 he published Fuzzy Sapiens as a sequel. Though there were reports of a nearly completed third book, it was not found after...

A really cool Fuzzy alternate history

Tuning appropriately dedicates FUZZY BONES to "Anubis, the guide from the first life to the second life" - this is, after all, the first book about the Fuzzies of Zarathustra to be written by anyone other than their creator, H. Beam Piper. At the time FUZZY BONES first saw the light of day - December, 1981 - Piper had published two Fuzzy novels, LITTLE FUZZY and FUZZY SAPIENS; in the nature of things, FUZZY BONES contains...

No Wonder I Couldn't Find It

Recently, I acquired a copy of The Complete Fuzzy and was confused. The story simply was not as I remembered it, from first reading the Fuzzy books years ago. The reason, of course, is that I had read every Fuzzy book I could get my hands on. Fuzzy Bones had completed the story so well that it had become an integral part of H. Beam Piper's universe -- to the extent that I was unaware Piper hadn't written it! This really...

Thoughtful & Thrilling Homage/Conclusion to the Fuzzy Books

If you loved H. Beam Piper's first two Fuzzy Books "Little Fuzzy" and "Fuzzy Sapiens" (sometimes called "The Fuzzy Papers") then you should definitely try to track this one down.The author was authorized to write a third book to conclude the series. It is obvious he studied the previous works carefully and loves his subject. He catches the true feeling and spirit of Piper's Terran Federation, and also the underlying themes...
