“High Beam Piper”? That’s a funny name for a writer.

It seems that the effect of the cover art was enough to drive the author to suicide. 🙁

Although the Ewoks’ productin of “Annie” wasn’t a big hit, the critics agreed their Daddy Warbucks totally owned the role.

Can Ewoks play ‘Duelling Banjos’, though?
(Not a frivolous comparison: several people commented at the time that ‘Return of the Jedi’s peculiar Viet Minh analogues owed a bit to the illustrations for Piper’s books, although it seems to have been more clear in the first draft of the first film http://kitbashed.com/blog/chewbacca. Nor was it an isolated incident http://memolition.com/2013/11/18/legendary-dune-illustrations-by-john-schoenherr-9-pictures/)

“Fuzzy sapiens” – You know, I don’t think that follows standard binomial nomenclature practices. The xenobiologists will be up in arms if we tell them we’re calling this species that.

Sf publishers, editors and writers know little of scientific nomenclature. In this case, it appears to be the publisher who slapped the title on the work. It was once joked that if the Bible was published by the American sf field it would appear as an Ace double with one-half called Master of Chaos and the other The thing with three souls.

This was actually a good book…It deserves a better cover than Bald Tracker With a Walkman and Techno-banjo Man.

@Anna T & Ray P. In “Little Fuzzy” (the preceding book) it is stated that scientific nomenclature has changed, so that yes, the species is actually named fuzzy sapiens. So I’d say this was as likely to be the author’s suggestion as the publisher’s.
