I really liked this book, though not quite in the same way I liked most of Cherryh's other books. It touched on issues I was grappling with at the time. I...
You have the correct ending. It sums up a key plot line - NG's sanity and fitting into the crew. Bet's plotline is essentially summed up when she thinks...
Hi Ingrid - the Book Swap thing sounds fine to me. :) I have the hardback book of RimRunners and that's how mine ends: "Bernie outbid them." ... -Joel ... ...
Thanks to Scott and Joel for confirming the ending. As for the swap thing: I have an extra copy of these books: Brothers of Earth The Morgaine Saga (very...
Hi everyone, Second newcomer to the list this week. I consider C.J. Cherryh a terrific writer in the genre. Haven't missed a book of hers to date. I was once...

... I really like Voyager -- of course, I tend to like anything with AI in it. The liste discussion prompted me to re-read it just now (hey, it's short). ... ...
... I talk about manufacturing; then remember that Kepta said it could make a capsule and transmitted for Rafe. OTOH, it doesn't discuss repairing the Lindy,...

Hi all. Haven't been here for a while; long past the time I should have dropped in for tea, etc. Having missed all the commentary about Pretender when it came...
Hi all. Someone posted at Shejidan.com that there was a DVD floating round with a frag of CJ interview. After a little hassle I managed to run it and finally...
