Abstract: We translate the concept of the join of topological spaces to the language of

C^{*}

-algebras, replace the

C^{*}

-algebra of functions on the interval

[0, 1]

with evaluation maps at

0

and

1

by a unital

C^{*}

-algebra

C

with appropriate two surjections, and introduce the notion of the fusion of unital

C^{*}

-algebras. An appropriate modification of this construction yields the fusion comodule algebra of a comodule algebra

P

with the coacting Hopf algebra

H

. We prove that, if the comodule algebra

P

is principal, then so is the fusion comodule algebra. When

C = C ([0, 1])

and the two surjections are evaluation maps at

0

and

1

, this result is a noncommutative-algebraic incarnation of the fact that, for a compact Hausdorff principal

G

-bundle

X

, the diagonal action of

G

on the join

X * G

is free.
