PUBLISHERS WEEKLY APR 19, 2004. In Cherryh's suspenseful sequel to Hammerfall (2001), Marak's World has been embargoed for a millennium due to the illicit nanotechnology it harbors, yet Marak Trin Tain himself, rendered nearly immortal by that technology, lives on. Marak is focused on rebuilding his planet's biosphere, which was nearly destroyed when the enigmatic alien ondat bombarded it some hundreds of years earlier, wiping out virtually all life not preserved in deep shelters. Meanwhile, in orbit around Marak's World, Concord Station has kept uneasy watch on the reawakening planet for centuries. The station is ruled over jointly but uncomfortably by two human cultures: one centered on Earth and strongly opposed to all forms of genetic manipulation; the other, the Outsider worlds, more willing to accept experimentation. Among the many nicely drawn characters is Procyon Stafford, a Concord technician charged with the important duty of communicating with Marak and recording everything he does. Trouble comes looking for Procyon in the form of Andreas Gide, an overbearing official from Earth who's convinced that someone is trying to use Procyon to transport illicit nanotechnology from the proscribed planet to Concord Station and beyond. Given the elaborate backstory and complex galactic milieu, readers would be well advised to start with Hammerfall. FYI:Cherryh has won four Hugo Awards, three for best novel. Forge of Heaven by C.J. Cherryh. If I was willing to only read one C. J. Cherryh book, which would you recommend? Here's another ebook on sale (at Amazon.com and other online sellers) for just 99 cents, but this time, it's a book from one of my all-time favorite authors, C.J. Cherryh. Forge of Heaven (2004) is a sequel to her 2001 science fiction novel, Hammerfall . But according to the reviews at Amazon.com, you don't necessarily need to read the first book. I don't know, myself. This is one of the few Cherryh books I don't own (well, I do now, since I couldn't pass up getting it for just 99 cents - heh, heh). And I don't remember Hammerfall , either. I own it, and I know I've read it. But even reading the summary of the story only slightly jogs my memory. It seems vaguely familiar, is all. So. who knows? C.J. Cherryh is a superb writer! But sometimes ( Cyteen , for example), her work can be more impressive than actually fun . Well, if you stick with it, it's still going to be great. But some of her books require ambition, and I'm sadly lacking in that, these days. :-) You might remember her Hugo Award-winning novel, Downbelow Station , which we read here in 2012 (as a modern SF selection). It's not the kind of book that hooks a reader - or not me, at least - for a long, long time. But eventually, it's superb. At least, that's how I remember my first read (which was long before 2012). But many of her other books are easy reads and just great fun. In short - oh, it's too late for that, huh? :-D - I can't tell you what to expect from Forge of Heaven . But if you don't mind ebooks, this is certainly a great price. Forge of Heaven. In the second volume of "The Gene Wars," C. J.

Другие книги автора C. J. Cherryh. For years, the stations of the Hinder Stars, those old stations closest to Sol, have lagged behind the great megastations of the Beyond, like Pell and Cyteen. But new opportunities and fears arise when Alpha station receives news of an incoming ship with no identification. The denizens of Alpha wait anxiously for news about the outsiders, each with their own suspicions about the ship and its origins. Ross and Fallon, crew members of the Galway , believe the unidentified ship belongs to Pell and has come to investigate another massive ship docked at Alpha, The Rights of Man . Though Rights is under the command of the Earth Company, it is not quite perfected—and its true purpose is shrouded in mystery. James Robert Neihart, captain of Finity's End —a huge faster-than-light ship flown by one of the Merchanter Families—has heard whispers of The Rights of Man and wonders at its design and purpose, especially as Sol struggles to rival the progress of the Farther Stars. Now docked at Alpha, he must convince the crews that there is more to The Rights of Man than meets the eye. Merchanter's Luck —His name was Sandor and he was the owner and entire crew of a tramp star-freighter that flew the Union planets under false papers and fake names. Her name was Allison and she was a proud but junior member of the powerful family whose mighty starship, Dublin Again, was the true queen of the spaceways. They met at Viking Station, she seeking a night’s dalliance, he desperately in search of a spacer assistant. Their fateful meeting was to lead to a record-breaking race to Pell Station, thereby catching the calculating eye of the grim commander of the Alliance battlecraft Norway, and a terrifying showdown at a deadly destination off the cosmic charts.
