Re: Thanks for your visions.
Sadly Cherryh's gone on a bit of a Foreigner series treadmill though, presumably because the publisher keeps asking for more.
Yeah. I think I'm one behind the latest but don't really feel motivated to buy it. I actually thought the Gene Wars series had potential although I get the impression it wasn't a huge success.
I'd definitely like to hear more about Finisterre. The atmosphere, descriptions of scenery and sometimes downright terror of those books is awesome. I read the second one during a stormy Christmas and that really added to the atmosphere :)
But I have to admit that my primary interest in her work are the Merchanter/Compact series which I like to treat as being the same thing really given the cross references between them.
