Story4.5 out of 5 stars 492
John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater.

Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever, and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent - and nearly five million souls in the United States alone - the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 425
When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

A Very Good Sci-Fi Weave
- By Luis Verma on 2018-06-02
Written by: John Scalzi
Publisher's Summary
In John Scalzi's re-imagining of H. Beam Piper's 1962 sci-fi classic Little Fuzzy, written with the full cooperation of the Piper Estate, Jack Holloway works alone for reasons he doesn't care to talk about. On the distant planet Zarathustra, Jack is content as an independent contractor for ZaraCorp, prospecting and surveying at his own pace. As for his past, that's not up for discussion.
Then, in the wake of an accidental cliff collapse, Jack discovers a seam of unimaginably valuable jewels, to which he manages to lay legal claim just as ZaraCorp is cancelling their contract with him for his part in causing the collapse. Briefly in the catbird seat, legally speaking, Jack pressures ZaraCorp into recognizing his claim, and cuts them in as partners to help extract the wealth.
But there's another wrinkle to ZaraCorp's relationship with the planet Zarathustra. Their entire legal right to exploit the verdant Earth-like planet, the basis of the wealth they derive from extracting its resources, is based on being able to certify to the authorities on Earth that Zarathustra is home to no sentient species. Then a small furry biped - trusting, appealing, and ridiculously cute - shows up at Jack's outback home. Followed by its family. As it dawns on Jack that despite their stature, these are people, he begins to suspect that ZaraCorp's claim to a planet's worth of wealth is very flimsy indeed and that ZaraCorp may stop at nothing to eliminate the fuzzys before their existence becomes more widely known.

Should be a movie!
I enjoyed this book. The fuzzy's sounded so cute & cuddly that I think this would be a great movie for young and old alike (and everyone inbetween).

Great Story and Narration
Really enjoyed the book. It is a simple story that is extremely well narrated, Wil Wheaton brings the story to life. After many large complex auditable books it was so nice to have this book to listen to. Great story and well written. John Scalzi is such an amazing story teller.

Enjoyable and Entertaining
I really like Fuzzy Nation. Wil did a great job at narration and different voices. The story itself was engaging, funny at times and very interesting. I only listen when I drive my car and I love when a book makes me look forward to hopping Behind the wheel and this book did that for me.

A complete delight
By turns charming, sobering, funny, moving, wry, witty and thought provoking. Written with intelligence and style, performed with skill and an intuitive sense of character.

I got more than I bargained for...
I didn't expect much from what was for me an unknown author. If Wil
Wheaton wasn't listed as the narrator, I probably would have passed it by.
The narration was done beautifully. The surprise for me was to discover a new si-fi author to follow. Any author who can make me laugh out loud, cry like a baby and hope the book never ends has got what I am looking for.
