Now we come to the immensely prolific C.J. Cherryh, one of my favourite writers who is still writing. Cherryh has written some difficult books, and some very odd ones, and she’s written a number of series, some of them with loose chronology. I’d suggest starting with either Rimrunners or The Paladin, depending on whether you like science fiction or fantasy. Rimrunners is part of the Union/Alliance series but it’s a standalone self-contained book. The Paladin is entirely standalone, and relatively upbeat. Another good place is The Pride of Chanur, which begins a series but has good closure.
