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.

"Out of your mind," Dekker repeated under his breath; and looked around at things he wanted to understand, thinking, he couldn't help it: God, Cory should have seen this....

Two asteroid miners find a dead, drifting ship - but its pilot, Paul Dekker, is alive, insane from shock, and screaming... screaming clues to a mystery that no one
wants solved...

WHAT IS MAMA HIDING?

Paul Dekker, a kid with a dream, wakes to anightmare. His ship is stolen, his future destroyed, his beautiful partner missing, his memory gone. The ASTEX mining monopoly, Mama, accuses Sim, of being negligent, crazy, and foolish, as well as a cold-blooded murderer. And only a renegade miner, Morris Bird, will help Paul learn the truth.

Because somewhere in Dekker’s mind lies a dark secret that can change the fate of worlds.

"MARVELOUSLY SKILLFUL... exactly the thing her fans will hope to find." -Philadelphia Inquirer

"SUPERBLY RENDERED... believable backdrops, complex characters, and a tense well-paced plot." - Publishers Weekly

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.
