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.

Bestselling author C. J. Cherryh proves once again that SF can be thrilling, knife-edged human adventure.  Set in the complex future of Downbelow Station, winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel, here is her latest Merchanter adventure...

TRIPOINT


Merchanter Cargo Chief Marie Hawkins has never forgiven the crime, nor sought justice.  Only vengeance.  And, for 23 years, the Hawkins’s clan ship, Sprite, has lived with her vendetta - and with her son, Tom, the boy sired in the violent assault.

Marie’s attacker, Austin Bowe, is captain of the Corinthian.  When both ships dock at Mariner Station, Marie vanishes and Tom searches for his mother... only to find himself trapped on Austin's ship with a half-brother he never knew he had and a crew fanatically loyal to Bowe.  Now as the Corinthian flees the
pursuing Sprite and a raider guns after both, the lives on board the two Merchanter ships are in the hands of Tom Hawkins.  To save them all, Tom must trust his sworn enemy...

His father.

  • 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.
