They named him Thorn. They told him he was of their people, although he was so different. He was ugly in their eyes, strange, sleek-skinned instead of furred, clawless, different. Yet he was of their power class: judge-warriors, the elite, the fighters, the defenders. Thorn knew that his difference was somehow very important - but not important enough to prevent murderous conspiracies against him, against his protector, against his caste, and perhaps against the peace of the world. But when Thorn finally learned what his true role in life was to be, that the future of two worlds might hinge on him, then he had to stand alone to justify his very existence

The constellation of Hydri, also called the Serpent, became an undesirable destination during the era of humanity's most prolific interstellar colonization. For Hydri was under strict quarantine because it harbored an intelligent and dangerous alien race, the insectoid majat. Yet human colonies predating the quarantine did exist in this sector of space, which they called Serpent's Reach. Cut off from others of their own kind, they had their own inbred culture and special relationships with the alien majat.

Scattered about the galaxy were the time-space Gates of a vanished but not forgotten alien race. In their time, long before the rise of the native civilizations, they had terrorized a hundred worlds—not from villainy but from folly, from tampering with the strands that held a universe together.
Now the task was to uproot these Gates, destroy their potency for mischief, take horror out of the hands of the few who hungered for power by misuse of the Gates.

It was that transitional time of the world when man first brought the clang of iron and the reek of smoke to the lands which before had echoed only with fairy voices. In that dawn of man and death of magic, there yet remained one last untouched place - the small forest of Ealdwood - which kept the magic intact and protected the old ways. And there was one who dwelt there, Arafel the Sidhe, who had more pride and love of the world as it used to be than any of her kind.

Pell was just the first living planet. Then came Cyteen, and later others, and a new and frighteningly different society grew in the farther reaches of space. The importance of Earth faded and the Company reaped ever smaller profits as the economic focus of space turned outward. But the powerful Earth Fleet was still a presence in the Beyond, and Pell Station was to become the last stronghold in a titanic struggle between the vast, dynamic forces of the rebel Union and those who defended Earth's last, desperate grasp for the stars.

On the outside, Dina Demille is the epitome of normal. She runs a quaint Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu named Beast, and is a perfect neighbor, whose biggest problem should be what to serve her guests for breakfast. But Dina is...different: Her broom is a deadly weapon; her Inn is magic and thinks for itself. Meant to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only permanent guest is a retired Galactic aristocrat who can’t leave the grounds because she’s responsible for the deaths of millions and someone might shoot her on sight.

Thousands of years hence, many races inhabit a universe where a mind's potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures and technology can function.

It just gets better
Have any of you read a series of books in which the first book is good and then with each additional book it loses itself? This is not the case when CJ Cherryh writes a series. They just get better and better. She writes with a delicious complexity of cultures, politics and action while constructing characters that are real, including their flaws. Yet, they are characters that one can root for and identify with. The narrator did a really extraordinary job. The bottom line is download this book and enjoy it. Enjoy them all.

Not impressed. :-||
Well the first book more or less consumable, but this sequel.....
I just finished book 6 of Foreigner Sequence, and it does not compare to this :-<, I just can't believe it was written by the same author.
If not for the narration , i would've dropped it somewhere during the first hour or so.

A whirl of worlds.
This series is in many ways Cherryh's most accessible one. She takes on one species after another and makes them real as a dime. And comprehensible by their own lights. Without ever making them into humans with fur or feathers. It's a wonderful space opera, which I normally hate. But here, when the alliens are so alien and yet, somehow people you know, how can you resist?
Some whiny bits in the dialog. Listen to it and see what you think. It didn't ruin my enjoyment of the books.But you might feel differently.

As in my last review, great books great story. ,
As I said in my last review, these books are keeping it new and interesting, the plot line is still keeping me reading, and the narrator has a good grasp on how it should be played. I am lining up the fourth book as I type, I am just sorry that the series has only five books(so far). I hope there will be more soon. So if you want a really good read, try these ones, I don't think anyone will be disappointed.

Stuff Happens But No Real Plot
What did you like best about Chanur's Venture? What did you like least?
I enjoyed the first book in the series, but this one seemed like fluff--not necessarily bad, just unfocused. It has many of the interesting elements of the first such as inter-clan rivalry and an array of unique alien races. It also has a intriguing exploration of how Pyanfar's mate copes with being overthrown and largely emasculated.
The publisher's summary implies the human plays some major role concerning trade, but that really gets lost in what largely seems to be the space equivalent of an extending Hollywood chase scene.
Would you recommend Chanur's Venture to your friends? Why or why not?
To me it largely depends on whether the 3rd book in the series is good. The book is tolerable as a bridge to the 3rd book, if it delivers.

Would you try another book from C. J. Cherryh and/or Dina Pearlman?
yes
Who was your favorite character and why?

What does Dina Pearlman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Did Chanur's Venture inspire you to do anything?
look for more in the series
Any additional comments?
This story seemed incomplete, just stops in the middle of the excitement. Thought I erred in the download and searched for the second part. dissappointing!

Terrible Story, Confusing Writing....Just Gah!
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Alright, so this is most probably the worst book I have ever downloaded. The names were overly complicated and I quite frankly got lost and confused a lot. I mean really does one need a character called Stelea Steles Stelem? Every time I heard that name I was wondering what the heck was going on
What could C. J. Cherryh have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Made it more like the first book, pithy dialog ect...Instead of the their shooting at us, we should shoot at them. Oh no we're in trouble again, but we can always buy ourselves out with the credit paper.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Ryming the names for one. I mean really she made it sound like she was almost singing them, which lead me to wonder what the heck was going on and why in the name of black holes I had spent money on this book
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I was very disappointed in this book, as is obvious by my other comments. It seemed very formulaic to me.
Any additional comments?
DO NOT GET THIS BOOK, YOU WILL REGRET IT!

Great story and best cat like alien story ever.
Great story and best "cat-like alien" story ever. this is the second in the series so be sure to read the first one - Pride of Chanur - first. CJ Cherryh does better than anyone in inventing plausible aliens and giving them understandable societies and biology that affects, but does not lock-in, their attitudes and behaviors. Humans as much as the other aliens are informed by, and sometimes limited by , their inherent assumptions, needs, and expectations. Reaching across the barrier of species and situation, friendship and loyalty can still occur, but it requires extraordinary courage and strength of character. This is the kind a problem at the basis of most of CJ Cherryh's stories and this is one of the best. There are a couple more in the series and I wish there were a dozen more!

Half a story
Nothing wrong with the reading or the story, except that it finishes in the middle (a 'cliff hanger') so if you buy this you better 'Gods Rotted' buy the next in the series (The Kif Strike Back) as well. I Think CJC originally chopped this up to fit US Mass Market Paperback sizes .. DAW, iirc.

Story
Alpha Station, orbiting the world of the atevi, has taken aboard 5,000 human refugees from a destroyed station in a distant sector of space. With supplies and housing stretched to the breaking point, it is clear that the refugees must be relocated down to the planet, and soon. But not to the atevi mainland, rather to the territory reserved for humans: the island of Mospheira. Tabini-aiji, the powerful political head of the atevi, tasks his brilliant human diplomat, Bren Cameron, to negotiate with the Mospheiran government.

Story
At last - Cajeiri has his young guests from the starship, three young folk entranced by weather and trees and creatures with minds of their own. It’s all he dreamed of.... But now safety is foremost: Cajeiri’s grandfather has been assassinated, hostile Assassins Guild invaded Great-uncle’s house, and now Bren Cameron, paidhi-aiji, who was sent to keep the aiji’s son safe, has more than the young guests on his mind. The aiji-dowager knows who’s to blame for the attacks, and they’re going after him.

But something is coming, quietly, stealthily - just the first ominous twinkle of a new star in the heavens....
