وصف الناشر
Rabbitlike aliens from outer space colonize Earth during humankind's Second World War in a delightfully funny and thought-provoking science fiction adventure
The Quozl just need somewhere to call home. A gentle race of extraterrestrial rabbits, they have a propensity for reproduction that has left their home planet, Quozlene, dangerously overpopulated, and in their search for greener and less-crowded pastures, they have discovered the perfect place to start over: the third planet away from a healthy, warming sun. What they don't realize is that this world they call Shiraz is already inhabited by a species of violent sentient creatures known as humans.
But there's no going back now. In the midst of the brutal and helpfully distracting global conflict the Shirazians call World War II, the colony ship lands undetected, and the space rabbits immediately go into hiding. But a secret like the Quozl can be concealed for only so long, especially when their numbers start to increase and certain rebellious members of the long-eared society decide the time is ripe to claim their place in a world they believe is rightfully theirs.
One of the most admired and prolific authors in the science fiction arena, Alan Dean Foster will delight readers who hunger for something different with this funny, thoughtful, and wildly inventive novel of first contact and coexistence. Once you meet the Quozl, you will never forget them.

It was a great premise, great writing (some typos in my e-version) and all in all left me wanting more.
I felt the storyline needed fleshing out, especially during their arrival in the midst of WWII. The historical details and hindsight perspectives would have brought a very good book to a whole new level.
Once a year read....
I first read this in the mid-90s while at college and fell in love with the story. Part of it was the nostalgia of my youth as the book seemed to be set in the early to late 80s. Memorable characters, great story and one of my favorite endings. As stated I reread it once a year and the only thing I miss about reading the ebook is the cute little comic animation that came with my first paper copy.
