This has been my favorite series in Sci Fi, well written and exciting portrayals of hyper space travel and different species interaction.
We must have more of Hilfy and Legacy, more of Chur mapping new routes, and more of Tully.
PLEASE!

Need more stories of Compact Space

I loved the Chanur series. And this is the best of them. The humor is tighter, funnier, more real, more in every way. And the aliens are wonderfully three dimensionals that you really connect with. There's nothing cute about it. It's solid anthropological S&F, and one Cherryh's very best. Highly recommended!
Hilfy has grown up to by Pyanfar's heir in every way, captain, rogue, clan head and almost pirate. What a good book!

best of an awfully good series

I have so enjoyed this series of books, that I am sad to have reached the last book, I would have read heaps more if there had been any more at all. But even though it is only a short series, I cannot recomend it enough. I have lived throught the trials and tribulations of the people of Chanur, and enjoyed every moment of it all, so if you want something that really gets you in, this is it. From book 1 to book 5, I have been enthralled. now it is up to you!!!!
rewgards to C J Cherryh for a teriffic job, Josie

Most of the characters are vividly portrayed, and several show considerable development. Excellent portrayal and pronunciation by the reader. I long for more Chanur stories from this author.

Excellent and believable character growth

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 Foreigner books since I first read this book, I can see certain similar themes-- Hilfy was once protocol officer on her aunt's ship which has diplomatic overtones, but Cherryh stays true to her vision of the Hani and other aliens she created for the Compact Space books.

Now to the audiobook-- The narrator Dina Pearlman had narrated a lot of audible books including the Weather Warden and Kris Longknife books but somehow I have never run into her until now. Her reading is measures-- not too fast, not to slow-- but never drags. She does a fabulous job with the something tongue twisting alien names and words. Her species/character delineation is very good. I was never in doubt as to who was speaking.

Very, very pleased with this audio book-- although I would like to add myself to those who would like Cherryh to add more books to this series.

Thoroughly Impressed by Production of a Good Book

I loved this, I thought chanur without Pyanfar would be a failure, but Hillfy runs a different and also wonderful ship. All of the alien races show up for this except humans.

Chanur series

There’s only one thing wrong with this series and that’s that it ended. I would love to have another book in this universe so we could know what the Chanur are up to now! I’m sure that they would over come all opticals but it would be great to see how.

Wonderful series!
