	The Chanur novels - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chanur novels is a series of five science fiction novels (forming three separate stories) written by science fiction and fantasy author C.
		The first novel in the series is The Pride of Chanur (1981), which was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1983.
		For example, The Pride of Chanur begins with the dock grapples at the prow; then follows the habitat with the caroussel which rotates during inertial flight to provide gravity.

	C. J. Cherryh, Science Fiction and the Soft Sciences (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		This is the chronological order of the Chanur novels, which combine a space opera plot with a wonderfully detailed invention of the culture that sentient lions might create, given a world where they occupy the role of humankind on earth.
		Chanur's Human, Tully, is the alien, possibly as intelligent, thoughtful, and articulate as Bren Cameron, but he can't speak the Hani language....
		One of the many brilliant strokes in this novel is her relegation of the human to third rank among the "races." Many of her novels treat the human characters as secondary to the species in the foreground; often the human is a captive pawn in the politicial intrigue of other, more powerful players.

	C. J. Cherryh
		The realities she tends to construct in international relations (whether those "nations" are human or alien) are probably most consistent with neorealist thinking, although the prevalence of important non-state actors and low politics in her work suggests at least some postpositivist influence (in the international relations sense, not the philosophical sense).
		The alien "Compact" of the Chanur novels, for example, provides a self-contained mini-universe for her to explore such issues, especially the balance of power within a decentralized and anarchic international structure.
		Her novels are divided into various spheres, focusing mostly around the Alliance-Union universe, The Chanur Novels, the Foreigner Universe, and her fantasy novels.

	Chanur Novels 04 Chanurs Homecoming by C Cherryh, Search Cheap Books, Discount Books, ISBN 0886771773
		A member of the peaceful, clannish, matriarchal hani race, merchant-ship captain Pyanfar Chanur would rather be left alone to earn her living.
		It's also the end of the trilogy that's left incomplete in the supposed "omnibus edition" "The Chanur Saga." As usual for Cherryh, this is an excellently written book that reaches down into your gut and shakes you around.
		Even beyond the storyline I think the best thing about the Chanur saga and other of C. Cherryh's novels is the underlining theme that just because something/someone thinks and reasons other than yourself and your ways, that does not make them evil or wrong.

	SHEJIDAN: The Chanur Saga
		Central character is Pyanfar Chanur - captain of The Pride of Chanur - from whose point of few we get to know the Compact and its species.
		The Pride of Chanur is only the great start of the Chanur series - kind of "to get to know the setting" - so to really appreciate the Compact and its species one has to read the next three books.
		These are telling one story (we are lucky the books aren´t ending mid-sentence) and give the chance to get more knowledge of the Compact and the history of its species more thoroughly as it goes.

	SF REVIEWS.NET: Demon of Undoing / Andrea I. Alton
		ANDREA I. Though it looks like a brazen imitation of C.J. Cherryh's Chanur novels (an impression hightened by an unfortunate cover painting so awful it makes Darrell K. Sweet look like Vermeer), Demon of Undoing is no knockoff, nor is it a stinker.
		The story is actually quite a well-written adventure set on an alien world which was, at one point in its history, visited by humans, whose contact with the highly clannish and warlike native Imkairans spawned much strife amongst various clans.
		Alton's depiction of the militaristic and clannish Imkairan society is generally plausible, too, though I doubt the wisdom of battle helmets that leave an open space at the top to enable the Imkairans' class-identifying hairy crests to show through (seems like a prime target for a sword or axe-blow to me).

		When it marks her return to the anthropological sf in which she has made such a name for herself (most notably the Chanur novels), it is doubly so.
		Two centuries after the landing, only one human, the paidhi, is allowed out of the human enclave--and at the opening of the book, he is the object of an unregistered assassination attempt.
		The subsequent tale is one of those Cherryh novels that is longer on world building, exotic aliens, and characterization than on action, although it is not short on that.

		this is stuff i've done as prep and studies for some portfolio-directed work, based on characters and concepts from the series of Chanur novels by C.J. Cherryh.
		The last character looks very sympathetic though, such a lovely sad eyes, that's because the prototype is a monkey, they are mostly likable and have very wise eyes, even their babies.
		sve, you're quite right about the Chanur characters, they all are the type that can have dark and light sides, one reason i like Cherryh's work so much, her characters are always complex and interesting.
