Piper's death, a third novel, "Fuzzies and Other People" was discovered and published. They also find out that only about 1 in 10 pregnancies results in a viable Fuzzy child - a virtual death sentence for the race. Piper wrote "Fuzzy Sapiens" (which kinda spoils the mystery of the above paragraph), in which the humans try to organize the government (including a constitution and elected legislature) for a race of sapient creatures who are as trusting and mentally developed as the average human 12-year-old. He seemed extremely intelligent, but could he actually be sapient? If so, that would cause extreme complications for the Company in charge of the planet. Beam Piper wrote "Little Fuzzy", about an extraterrestrial critter about 2 feet tall and covered with hair.
