I read this book around 95-97, and I'm sure it was older than that.

It was sci fi, the main character was a male who got vertigo while descending to the moon, and met a girl at the moon base. She had a fuzzy little pet.

Later on the heroes become stuck in a magnetic trap, owned by spider like aliens that the hero ponders about because man had evolved in the warm ocean, but these creatures had evolved in cold space.

That's all I remember.

  • "Funny thing is that when I saw the film Gentleman Bronco's and in the opening credits they showed the book cover of "Have Space Suit Will Travel" the characters represented exactly what I had been looking for! But after reading a plot summary, that book is NOTHING like what I remember of this lost favorite." WHICH "Have Space Suit Will Travel" cover was that? Was it one of these?

  • Yes towards the bottom, a girl is holding the suit and male character has a small fuzzy pet near him. -Travis Christian, no when I finished registering my account it took away my name and used my username.

  • Were the 'fuzzy pets' actually telepaths that were used for FTL communications? I have a vague recollection of reading something like this in the 70s.
