Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, Greg Weeks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Sloths of Kruvny" by Vern Fearing is a satirical science fiction story published in the early 1950s. This humorous narrative explores the absurdities of space travel and the interactions between Earth and an unusual alien civilization known as the Sloths of Kruvny. The book touches on themes of war, diplomacy, and the unexpected outcomes of human nature in the face of cosmic challenges. The story follows the overweight and seemingly inept Bradley Broadshoulders (Brad) as he embarks on a mission in the galaxy with his quirky companion Ugh. Their journey takes a turn when they discover Kruvny, a planet inhabited by slothful beings who are at odds with a rival faction, the Sidemen, driving them to insanity with their incessant saxophone playing. As Brad and Ugh interact with the amusingly ineffectual leadership of the High Kruv, they concoct a plan to address the absurd situation. Ultimately, they face the comical realization that their home planet, Earth, has been destroyed while they were away, leading to a uniquely humorous reflection on the nature of existence and responsibilities as they ponder their uncertain future.
