Book

Intruder (2012)

Intruder is #13 in the Foreigner Series by CJ Cherryh and it is definitely not a series that it is easy to start in the middle (so if you are new to this world, to quote the words of the song "Let's start at the very beginning, it's a very good place to start..")I've been enthralled by the recurr...

Cuckoo's Egg (1989)

Review Title: How do you communicate with a race that you never met or never seen before?Story:The world had faced a threat that it had never seen before and had never expected to come to pass. This threat was averted, but at a terrible cost to those who faced it. There was only one man that su...

Book

Destroyer (2006)

I've been a fan of C. J. Cherryh since I first read Foreigner (the first part in her Foreigner universe series) a little more than five years ago. I've since read (with this one) six sequels in that series as well as the first novel in her Chanur series (and have managed to accumulate quite a few...

Book

Serpent's Reach (1985)

This novel is set in the far future of the aftermath of the Company Wars. The Serpents Reach is a small section of space that is centered on one planet intially where a alien life form is found that is ant like in nature but possessing intelligence. Only one group of humans are allowed to interac...

Book

Voyager in Night (1984)

I’ve been rereading many of the novels I enjoyed in my high school days. Voyager in Night is one of the more challenging books by my much revered author, C. J. Cherryh. I reread this one on a Nook and wish that more of her work would be made available on electronic format. Voyager in Night is one...

Book

The Faded Sun Trilogy (2000)

Here’s the short review: This book gets five stars because it made me agree with genocide, against a sentient alien species that I found beautiful and wanted to live.But that alone is not very satisfying, so here’s the long review:One of the most wonderful aspects of science fiction (particularly...

Book

Hammerfall (2002)

I have just a few days ago finished this book for the 2nd time and I salute Ms. Cherryh for what I believe is some of her best work. She takes on an interesting challenge in a story which at it's core is science fiction, yet so much of the outer layers are pure fantasy as she explores a desert ...

Book

Well of Shiuan (1978)

I bought this book recently, and as happened with another of this author's books, found that I'd owned it before, in the 80s. The story of young woman who loots a tomb and is then followed home by an enigmatic armored warrior. Once the warrior leaves she (deciding that her life is one she doesn't...

Book

Tripoint (1995)

With Ms. Cherryh coming out with a new book (Betrayer) I decided it was time to return to some of her earlier books to set my mood right. Because her Alliance/Union series has been a favorite of mine and I haven’t read Tripoint in awhile it became the book to set me in the mood.Tripoint follows ...

Book

Fortress of Owls (2000)

It was almost by accident that I discovered this amazing series by Cherryh, who rather quickly has become one of my favorite authors. I have noted in previous reviews that this very definitely is a series that should be read from beginning to end; in order to follow the action with any sense of u...

Fortress of Owls (2000) by C.J. Cherryh
Book

Invader (1996)

This series benefits greatly from being read in order, so, soon-to-become-standard warning: We won't give spoilers for the specific book in its review, but we do assume you're up to date on the series to that point.Bren's actions in Malguri have made him a hero by atevi standards, as well as a fo...

Invader (1996) by C.J. Cherryh
Book

Fortress of Ice (2006)

I'm bereft! As series go, this has turned out to be one of my favorites of all time. And this is the last book! Not to have more time with these characters feels awful. I hope that Cherryh gets back to them at some point, but given the nine years that have passed since this was published I'm ...

Fortress of Ice (2006) by C.J. Cherryh
Book

Foreigner (2004)

This is my first attempt at Cherryh, and I'm on the fence as to whether or not there will be more. I'm surprised that the reviews of this aren't more tepid.The atevi are interesting: the alien species at the heart of the book, dark-skinned, larger than humans, but more importantly hardwired in a ...

Forge of Heaven (2005)

Book

Exile's Gate (1988)

Exiles Gate is the fourth and final outing in CJ Cherryh's Morgaine saga; the first three stories having been published under one title, the Chronicles of Morgaine. My copy was a fairly elderly one, tatty, worn out and dogeared, having survived about six house moves, numerous car-boot-sale culls ...

Book

Hellburner (1993)

In the sequel to 'Heavy Time' and prequel to the Hugo award-winning 'Downbelow Station', Paul Dekker is a skilled pilot with the Earth Company Fleet - a new militia being under construction and tasked with suppressing the colony uprising on the planet Cyteen. Dekker is a part of the Hellburner pr...

Book

Heavy Time (1992)

Heavy Time is Cherryh's fourth book in her Company Wars series of the massive Alliance-Union book continuity. Like most of the Company Wars books, Heavy Time needn't be read in publication order though a few characters from Downbelow Station make cameos.Heavy Time is a military-industrial thrille...

Book

Gate of Ivrel (1988)

3.5 starsI really like Science-Fantasy. It’s not surprising I guess given that two of my favourite genres are the mainstays of the wider umbrella ‘speculative fiction’: sci-fi and fantasy, so the mash-up of the two would seem to be a no-brainer, right? Normally science-fantasy stories tend to hav...

Gate of Ivrel (1988) by C.J. Cherryh
Book

The Pride of Chanur (1982)

Definitely a high 3.5 stars, but not quite a 4 for me, Cherryh’s _The Pride of Chanur_ combines space opera with some gritty “hard-ish” sf elements in the beginning of a saga that deals with the political and economic ramifications of first contact. In this first volume of the Chanur saga we fol...

Book

Chanur's Legacy (1993)

The new audiobook is out and I very impressed. First, I am going to concentrate on the audiobook. I am not going to rehash the plot. Suffice it to say that Cherryh manages to write a wonderfully complicated but satisfying book giving Hilfy Chanur center stage. I have read a whole bunch of Foreign...

Book

Rimrunners (1990)

This is something of an unusual book for Cherryh. Her viewpoint characters tend to be intelligent, somewhat highly strung, and to try to use logic to navigate through their problems. Here, she gives us Bet Yeager. While Bet is certainly not stupid, she operates more on guts or instinct and determ...

Book

Forty Thousand in Gehenna (1984)

I'll admit that the cover was close enough to Dragonriders of Pern to make me uneasy (not to disparage McCaffrey's work--it has simply been a while since I've wanted to read that sort of story), and the background made it sound like yet another "technologically advanced humans encounter peaceful,...

Book

Chanur's Homecoming (1991)

(continued from The Kif Strike Back)Chanur's Homecoming is the final episode of the Chanur epic. In other words, the "book" contains only an ending. No beginning. No middle. A reader must have all three episodes before a complete book is in hand. Do not waste your time or money reading just one o...

Book

Yvgenie (1992)

I liked the other two books in the series and this one wasn't horrible but I just really couldn't get over the ending. It was too wtf. I'm still not quite sure what happened. The whole Chernevog/ Yvgenie mixup was really confusing and never quite fully explained. Also, Pyetr's second daughter def...

Fires of Azeroth (1979)

At the end of Well of Shiuan the many thousand refugees of a doomed world pour through the open Shiuan Gate into a new world. The consequences are dealt with here, and here lies Morgaine and Vanye's most difficult and unpleasant task yet.The world of the Azeroth Gate, or at least its immediate v...

The Kif Strike Back (1991)

They say that you should choose the lesser of two evils and that better the devil you know. One would think that to be a perfect guideline when struggle for power between two great hakkikts unleashed a civil war among the kif species. After all, the rest of Compact space would have to deal with t...
