Synopsis
Prospector Jack Holloway discovers a small, golden-furred creature he names Little Fuzzy on the planet Zarathustra, which is owned and exploited by the powerful Chartered Zarathustra Company. When more Fuzzies appear and evidence mounts that they may be sapient beings, a courtroom battle erupts that could strip the Company of its charter and transform the planet into a protected aboriginal reserve.
