Just finished Chanur novels. First books were awesome. Chanur's Venture and Homecoming are possibly the most intense sci-fi I ever read. Loved Cherryh's take on FTL shit, no meme star wars pew pew dogfights in space, distances are massive, as is proper, information latency, etc. Still feels like Cherryh didn't quite think the physics through, but miles better of the usual HURR INFORMATION TRAVELS INSTANTLY DURR FIGHTS AND CONFLICTS IN SPACE WILL BE THE SAME AS WW2 PLANE DOGFIGHTS. No furry shit. Ok constant cultural misunderstanding between species, has great plot effect instead of purely comedic or whatever.
Chanur's legacy is bretty dumb though. Also dumb is how humans ended up not doing anything and just going home after looming on the horizon as this massive doom armada for 3 books
