Thanks for the quick response. You certainly havr me intrigued. Do you have a definite recommendation of where to start? Just dive in? Or is there one book you love that would get me hooked for the others?

My Number One Favorite Cherryh book is Cuckoo's Egg. It's a standalone; it tosses you right into an alien culture and a fraught situation that is driving the actors, but which is never spelled out. It'll give you a good taste for what she does.

Or, you could do worse than start with Hunter of Worlds, also a standalone.

My library actually has a copy of Cuckoo's Egg, so I think I will start there. I'll see if I can track down Hunter of Worlds by other means. Thanks again for the reqs.

I agree that Cuckoo's Egg is an excellent introduction to C. J. Cherryh.
