The third volume of the Chanur saga, set in the Alliance-Union universe, featuring the alien spaceship captain Pyanfar Chanur and her human crewmate Tully.
When the kif seized Hilfy and Tully, hani and human crewmembers of The Pride of Chanur, they issued a challenge Pyanfar, the captain of the Pride, couldn't ignore, a challenge that would take Pyanfar and her shipmates to Mkks station and into a deadly confrontation between kif, hani, mahendo'sat, and human. And what began as a simple rescue attempt soon blossomed into a dangerous game of interstellar politics, where today's ally could become tomorrow's executioner, and where methane breathers became volatile wild cards playing for stakes no oxy breather could even begin to understand....
"Like the other Chanur novels, Chanur's Legacy is a lively tale of swashbuckling capitalism in space... This new series offers good reading and genuine fun." —Locus
"Cherryh has given us an alien psychology story, and she has done a grand job. It is a mark of Cherryh's success that here, it is the human who seems alien." —Analog
"This is a rousing good tale, and Cherryh's feisty hani are the most believable alien characters to come down the SF pike in a long time." —Kliatt
"C.J. Cherryh can be counted on for a fast-paced story and intricately worked-out alien cultures." —San Francisco Chronicle
"Desperate and dangerous action, and political on both the grand scale and the small... fascinating aliens and fast-moving adventure. Rating: Three wows and a lot of purring." —SF Review
"Compellingly written, with distinctive characters and well-realized races and cultures." —Fantasy Review
"Cherryh's performance as a writer is... on a level of quality to which few writers will ever attain... and uncommonly deft storyteller..." —The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction
"The political intrigues are as desperate and incomprehensible as anything in the newspapers... Space opera at its best." —Feminist Bookstore News
With more than seventy books to her credit, and the winner of three Hugo Awards, C. J. Cherryh is one of the most prolific and highly respected authors in the science fiction field, and has been named a Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America. She lives in Washington state.
