Could someone please give me a list of the books in any/all series by C.J. Cherryh in order? I would like to read some of her books, but I have not been able to figure out what book to read first....

Downbelow Station was very well written and I recommend it highly. -eli ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eli Liang --- University of Maryland Computer Vision Lab, (301) 454-4526 ARPA: liang@cvl, eli@mit-mc, eli@mit-prep CSNET: liang@cvl UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!cvl!liang -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eli Liang --- University of Maryland Computer Vision Lab, (301) 454-4526 ARPA: liang@cvl, eli@mit-mc, eli@mit-prep CSNET: liang@cvl UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!cvl!liang

All were published by DAW; I don't know if any have also been published by another house. I have grouped them into "series" as best I could remember them. Title Date Morgaine trilogy: Gate of Ivrel 76 Well of Shiuan 78 Fires of Azeroth 79 The Faded Sun trilogy: The Faded Sun: Kesrith 78 The Faded Sun: Shon'jir 79 The Faded Sun: Kutath 80 The Dreamstone 83 (includes dictionary of Celtic, The Tree of Swords and Jewels 83 Welsh, and Old English names) Downbelow Station 81 Merchanter's Luck 82 The Pride of Chanur 82 Chanur's Venture 84 Chanur's Revenge 85 (not published yet) These either are not part of a series or I have forgotten where they belong: Brothers of Earth 76 Forty Thousand in Gehanna 84 Hestia 79 Hunter of Worlds 77 Port Eternity 82 Serpent's Reach 80 Sunfall 81 (collection of short stories) Voyager in Night 84 Wave Without a Shore 81 --steve tektronix!tekchips!messick

A couple of people have given list of C. J. Cherryh's books, but have not noted that these two: Port Eternity 82 Forty Thousand in Gehanna 84 are set in the same universe as these: Downbelow Station 81 Merchanter's Luck 82 PE and FTiG aren't as closely related as are DS and ML, but they do belong together. If you're reading them in order, read DS and ML before the other two. Also, while I'd classify DS and ML as "hard" SF, PE is much more... well, I'll say exotic...than the other two, and FTiG is somewhere in between. Incidentally, she has written a short story or two set in this universe, also. I just read "The Scapegoat", which has a surprising ending (at least, I was surprised; I began to guess at it only a few pages from the end). It's in a new book, a collection of 3 short stories called "Alien Stars", edited by Elizabeth Mitchell; the other two stories are by Joe Haldeman and Timothy Zahn (I haven't read those two yet).
