	Amazon.com: Kesrith (The Faded Sun, Book 1): Books: C. J. Cherryh (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The _Faded Sun_ series is strongly recommended as space opera, as a study in human/alien and alien/alien interaction, and as the painful story of single human warrior's journey from one mindset to another.
		The faded sun trilogy portrays two convincing & fascinating races locked with humans as the unpredictable element in a struggle for the stars and for mri, a struggle against extintion.
		C.J. Cherryh's "Faded Sun" trilogy, set in her Merchanters/Union Universe, between wars, is a beautifully developed character study of a young man caught in a situation not of his making, and driven by his conscience.

		Ender discovers at the very end of the trilogy that it was through this computer game that the hive Queen was able to first communicate with him, although he was not aware of it.
		In C.J. Cherryh's Serpent's Reach and Orson Scott Card's Ender trilogy, both of which were conceived in the late 1970s, the authors center hive cultures on the figure of a queen or mother, who dominates the hive, controlling all its members as if they are mere extensions of her body.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Faded Sun Trilogy
		This SF series is the second she wrote, close on the heels of the Morgaine trilogy [Gate of Ivrel (1976), Well of Shiuan (1978), and Fires of Azeroth (1979)], although publication intermingled the two series on bookstore shelves.
		The Faded Sun trilogy opens in the uneasy aftermath of a galaxy-spanning war hard-fought between humans and humanoid mri mercenaries, hired by the decidedly inhuman regul.
		Before the trilogy is done, Duncan and the mri risk everything to find the original mri homeworld and to make places for themselves there, even as human and regul forces follow, with deep suspicion on all sides.

		The Faded Sun Trilogy will never be listed among the absolute greats of the science fiction genre, but it does bring a touch of originality and intelligence, enough to be well worth reading.
		The portions of the trilogy that are written from an alien perspective are the best parts, a fascinating exploration of a society built on completely different assumptions than our own.
		Perhaps Faded Sun qualifies as a typical womenï¿½s book, because between moments of action there are long, intense periods of examination of the feelings of the various characters.

		The Faded Sun: Kesrith begins at the end of the 43-year long war of humans against mri, an alien race which has been hired mercenaries for the alien regul for over 2,000 years.
		The Faded Sun: Shon'jir follows the two last mri (Niun and Melein) and Duncan, who have survived the regul's attempts to obliterate them and are now fleeing through space following a navigational record that's far more than millenia old.
		The Faded Sun: Kutath is the end of the flight, the mri homeworld, where Niun and Melein discover they are not the last of their species after all.

	THE FADED SUN
		As is typical of great writing Cherryh gains and keeps a readers interest with good characterization, a good story and excellent writing.
		This book is the capstone to one of the best trilogies I've ever read.
		Although later Cherryh series (Chanur and Foreigner come to mind) may equal, they don't surpass Faded Sun.

		I found the Empire Trilogy to be incredibly powerful emotionally and it was my first real glimpse at a female main character.
		It led me to read more of her work including the Faded Sun Trilogy, a couple of stand alone titles and two compilation books containing three complete, different, novels each.
		The Chronicles of Solace trilogy is one of my favorites of all time, dealing with time travel, terraforming, and the potential and pitfalls of future humanity.

	David Ketterer- The Machine in the Garden -- Take Two
		Although Victor Frankenstein supposedly abandons his early alchemical studies in favor of modern science, his ambitions, and the metaphoric import of his procedures, remain alchemical.
		The Faded Sun comes to focus on a science that, like alchemy, seeks "control over time and over the generative process" (101), on "an ideal human nature that can be forged" (111), and on making "the space program seem like an alternative to the Garden" (112).
		Dune is categorized as a retelling of an ancient religious myth: "the battle of the transcendent sky-god against the witches of nature." It is an "example of the worship of transcendence, in the guise of secular entertainment" (113).

		- This trilogy is the story of an alternate America in the days when much of it still belonged to the Indians and Canada was still held by the French.
		The end of the last book just left me thirsting for more as it left off with a whole lot of story to tell, and it is such a moving, mystical, and human story.
		They spend their time chasing "outlaws" (people whose only crime was being on the losing side of a war) and fighting among themselves as various factions vie for eventual dominance of the ship.

		The importance of Earth faded and the Company reaped ever smaller profits as the economic focus of space turned outward.
		Well, maybe those alien species are always too humanoid in form- personally I suspect that the real aliens would be too alien to comprehend, but ie in the Chanur novels we have 3 methane- breathing and completely crazy species in addition to the 4 species of oxy breathers, the sane ones.
		But when finally we have a description of Phoenix' spaceflight, it seems that the author's altered the theory of spaceflight she has been using in all of her previous books, and so this can't be the same universe...

		This Trilogy contains the books Kesrith, Shon'jir, and Kutath written back in the late 70's and brought together in one volume by DAW books in 2000.

		the simple plots of the books are always fascinating and eventually the pair of wanderers pass on to unforseeble ends, wich i think is the masterstroke of the first trilogy (and even of the fourth book, "exile's gate").
		That's the trilogy by Piers Anthony starting with Sos the Rope, and followed by Val the Stick and Neq the Sword.
