H. Beam Piper is, of course, best remembered for the Fuzzies of Zarathustra. 1/4

My involvement with those books began in 1976 when Ace, guided by Jerry Pournelle, repackaged the two original novels: LITTLE FUZZY and FUZZY SAPIENS.

Devoted fans will recognize that I illustrated many more Fuzzy covers. 2/4

FUZZY BONES, written by William Tuning, was intended as the third book in the series, but a lost manuscript by Piper was later discovered and published as FUZZIES AND OTHER PEOPLE. 3/4

(Ace), based on the work of H. Beam Piper. 4/4
