Cj Cherryh

C. J. Cherryh is a very good ScienceFiction writer. Her most popular universe is the Alliance-Union universe, also known as the Merchanters universe. Books in this universe tend to be spread out over lightyears and centuries, so it's not really a series. Another good universe is the Foreigner universe which has a very interesting alien race.

Her novel DownbelowStation? won a HugoAward.


The above was written by me. I've currently read DownbelowStation?, Cyteen, and MeregovinNights? in her Alliance-Union universe, and all the books currently published in the Foreigner universe. They're very good. -- JonathanRosebaugh

According to the author, the 'h' at the end of her last name is silent.


I read Hammerfall, and it was great!

I seldom had a book, in which the language got so close to a poem. It flowed all the time, never stopping but always with fluctuating power.
