English Summary/英文概要： Jack Holloway works alone, for reasons he doesn’t care to talk about. Hundreds of miles from ZaraCorp’s headquarters on planet, 178 light-years from the corporation’s headquarters on Earth, Jack is content as an independent contractor, 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.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 杰克•海罗威（Jack Halloway）不愿意谈他为什么要一个人坚守距离地球178光年的所谓岗位。他很满意这个现状，他是个独立的人，做事很有条理。介于他的过去，那是不可掀开的伤疤，不能提。

然而，随着悬崖坍塌，杰克发现了无与伦比的珠宝。由于公司因为这起倒塌事故要其引咎辞职，他正好利用这个发现迫使公司承认他和他的发现，并参与开拓更大的财富。

但是，就在此时，一个小的两足动物出现在杰克家里，跟着他的家人出出进进。尽管人人自保，唯恐再次打乱。杰克也渐渐明白，尽管他有雕像在手，他还是开始就认同的。精彩不容小觑。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
