It takes a little bit to catch on to what's happening - but this is that story that explains how a species native to a planet can be in an economic crises because there is only ONE creature that gives them an essential nutrient - and the entire race is dying out.

In Golden Dream we learn WHY the Fuzzies were facing these problems, what they thought of the Big Ones who came to them in their time of need - and just generally fun reading. (

Mayhar did a great job of adding to the Fuzzy stories. Could hardly tell that it was not Piper. Gave a great story of where the Fuzzy's came from and what they were. (

Epigraph

Round and round
run the Gashta
Small ones,
Big ones,
Golden ones,
and the pale-furred ones.

We laugh and push,
Tripping and scrambling.
When we play hide-and-find
we are happy.
But we must be cautions
or we may die...

Dedication

To H. Beam Piper and William Tuning without whom this book would have been nonexistent.

First words

Breaks-Twigs (Etza-T'ra in his own Gashta tongue) clibed into the feather tree, found a comfortable spot, and settled himself to his task of watching the young ones.
