This year (2016) C.J. Cherryh was given the SFWA Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award, something I think she was long overdue for. I hadn't read a Cherryh book for quite a while so I thought it was very appropriate to read one now, and while I've read this one before a long time ago, I never continued with the series due to availability issues where I lived at the time.En-route to build a new space station as key outpost for human expansion the Phoenix suffers an accident during it'sThis is one of the great gems! CJ has written a wonderful first-contact series with a really accessible protagonist. The Aliens are truly alien - the humans frequently irritatingly human ;>. This is the beginning of a 12 books series - written in 4 trilogies. One can read as many of the trilogies as one would wish. While they build, one upon another, if one wished to stop after 1 or 2 or 3 of them, the stories are sufficiently tied up that one can.I can't imagine stopping - in fact, I started
Finally finished this book! RTC

Here, human beings had to remember that the universe was far wider than their little nest of starsthat, in the universe at large, silence was always more than the noisiest shout of life. Humans explored and intruded against it, and built their stations and lived their lives, a biological contamination of the infinite, a local and temporary condition.C.J. Cherryh is one of science fictions most important women writers, her name is often mentioned alongside Ursula K. le Guin, Octavia Butler,
StarMan wrote: "I "liked" your review because there was no "love" option."XD Happy to hear this!
"I wrote this 50 page short story, what do you think?" Said C.J. Cherryh."It's great, but can you stretch into a 20 volume series of 500 page books? Because that's what we really need." Said the Publisher. "Sure I can, I just will start the first volume off by turning the one paragraph stay in mountain resort into 400 pages of repetitive introspection on the part of the main character. And then I will turn the 2 page chase scene into 200 pages. And we can go from there." Said C.J. Cherryh.This
well-respected and prolific science fiction author-cum-scifi-anthropologist C.J. Cherryh puts her considerable gifts to work in this introductory volume to her elephantine mega-series, as she begins a sensitive new tradition: fiction that is specifically geared to those unfortunate individuals who have no experience in reading, as well as to our fellows experiencing severe mental challenges. i for one appreciate the effort and am happy to report that the writing in this novel makes every attempt
