Everything Ann says goes for me too.

Go read Pride of Chanur right now. Drop everything.

Any of my readers probably knows what a debt I owe to Cherryh. And if you don't, well, I'm telling you now. Go read something of hers if you're not familiar.

THE PRIDE OF CHANUR (1981)
Acrylic on Illustration Board - 24" x 17"

The book that introduced the Hani to the world. In C.J. Cherryh's first novel in this series, the cat-like aliens find the human stowaway on their ship. 1/4
A group of buff aliens with cat heads and tawny fur stand guard around a single human, whose face can only be seen from the nose up but resembles the artist. One of the Hani carries a shiny chrome blaster and another is talking into a handheld communication device. Many have rings adorning the underside of their pointed ears. Looming in the background, arranged in a descending arch, an array of alien species is rendered in cool blue tones against a light blue field.

"We are the Pride of Chanur,
Glossy of eye, fang and fur.
Our fame is unblemished,
Our ship is the best,
For we are the Pride of Chanur!"
Felt like I should relaunch in this thread the beautiful Chanur's fan art I commissioned @sanssouci.bsky.social, as few furs know of this saga!
Pyanfar Chanur sitting at a messy desk, busy with calculations. Star maps and lots of paper and vintage computers. Pyanfar Chanur is a feline like alien known as a Hani.

Have you read C.J. Cherryh's Chanur books? Aliens leonine in looks and social dynamics, trading and caught up in interstellar skulduggery. Fun stuff!

I needed retail therapy so I went to Half Price Books and got a bunch of cat alien books. I never saw "The Underpeople" before.

I've read the Chanur series, but it's been 28 years. They didn't have one I lack , but I can find that later. I always love the @michaelwhelan.bsky.social covers.

In the '80s and '90s, CJ Cherryh questioned and critiqued our assumptions about how gender is expressed and understood, creating science fiction narratives that reflect trans identity and experience. It's time for a retrospective.
