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.

CHANUR'S VENTURE
Pyanfar Chanur thought she had seen the last of Tully, the lone human who had so disrupted the peace of Meetpoint Station and gained the Chanur clan the enmity of half a dozen races as well as their own. But in this striking sequel to the Hugo-nominated PRIDE OF CHANUR, Tully is back, bringing with him a priceless trade contract with human space. A contract which would mean vast power, riches, and a new hornet's nest for Pyanfar and the Pride!

This is a rousing good tale, and Cherryh's feisty hani are the most believable alien characters to come down the SF pike in a long time... These swaggering, vain, tough-talking, hani heroines make Chewbacca look like a pussycat."

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.
