Alliance-Union Universe

A collection of novels written by C.J. Cherryh which all take place in the same universe though some are very loosely connected. The order of these is from isfdb.org even though I normally like to order them by publication date. Since this mega-series encompasses so many other series, I've used this method instead.

RIMRUNNERS
In space the line between patriot and pirate is as thin as a laser. And a lethal battle for power can be as near as your starship's next deck...

THE SPOOK
Loki - mercenary spy ship and bounty hunter. It's the legal arm of the Merchanters' Alliance; but once enlisted, no crew member leaves Loki alive...

THE SOLDIER
BET YEAGER - a killer elite Earth Company Marine whose side lost. Now she's forced to escape aboard Loki, surrounded by enemies and hunting her old comrades. Yeager has nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. A single wrong word can give her away. And the fighting skills she must use to survive may be her death warrant...

C.J. CHERRYH
"Shouts with tension... a hard-edged space opera with a strong female protagonist." -San Francisco Chronicle

"An excellent novel.... One of the finest writers SF has to offer." -Science Fiction Chronicle

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
