Review:
Praise for the Faded Sun trilogy:
"This is a powerful story... inspiring in its determination and feeling of strange loyalties and stranger courage. It sticks in the mind long after the last page is finished." —Analog
"Carefully wrought... Cherryh demonstrates an almost clinical eye for detail, creating an alien race in depth." —Publishers Weekly
“The Faded Sun Trilogy has an air of being something that was, that is, that could still be. This book is timeless and enduring.” —SF Site
“Cherryh is a master of world-building.... Faded Sun has everything: well-defined alien cultures that are actually alien, some intriguing philosophical questions, a Soft SF look at cultural integration and extinction, a fluid struggle of political intrigue, developed planetary ecology, and a proper epic backdrop of intergalactic war for this amazing space opera.” —Battered, Tattered, Yellowed, & Creased Blog

A trilogy of epic scale, published for the first time in one volume, 'The Faded Sun' plots the fates of three individuals against a vast background of war, alliance and treachery across the stars. Two are members of a far-flung people, the mri-mercenary explorers and warriors, and currently deadly enemies of humanity. But with Melein, their last priestess-queen, and Niun, last of the true-bred warriors, is a human: Sten Duncan, who has renounced his own loyalty to serve them. They set off on a quest for the half-legendary mri-planet Kutath. Around this trio, mighty actions swing, and great destinies hang in the balance. C J Cherryh proves herself yet again to be an imaginative writer of exceptional power and invention:- (original cost £3.95). Seller Inventory # 14.005.00289
