This omnibus contains the final two Chanur novels, Chanur's Homecoming and Chanur's Legacy. This groundbreaking series chronicles the compelling first contact between humans and multiple alien races, and is noted for its unique viewpoint: that of the alien protagonists.
These two books feature the adventures of Tully, the only human crewmember of the spaceship Pride of Chanur; the ship's hani captain, Pyanfar; and Hilfy Chanur, Pyanfar's niece and crewmember who goes on to become the captain of her own ship, Chanur's Legacy. They must navigate delicate interstellar politics and interspecies conflict, even as the fate of worlds hangs in the balance.
"Cherryh has given us an alien psychology story, and she has done a grand job. It is a mark of Cherryh's success that here, it is the human who seems alien." --Analog
"This book and the rest of the Chanur series...comprise one of the best scence fiction tales ever. Don't miss it." --Minneapolis Star and Tribune
"This is a rousing good tale, and Cherryh's feisty hani are the most believable alien characters to come down the SF pike in a long time." --Kliatt
"C.J. Cherryh can be counted on for a fast-paced story and intricately worked-out alien cultures." --San Francisco Chronicle
With more than seventy books to her credit, and the winner of three Hugo Awards, C. J. Cherryh is one of the most prolific and highly respected authors in the science fiction field, and has been named a Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America. She lives in Washington state.
