The first volume of the Chanur saga, set in the Alliance-Union universe, featuring the alien crew of spaceship The Pride of Chanur and the human Tully.

No one at Meetpoint Station had ever seen a creature like the Outsider. Naked-hided, blunt toothed and blunt-fingered, Tully was the sole surviving member of his company of humans―a communicative, spacefaring species hitherto unknown―and he was a prisoner of his discoverers and captors―the sadistic, treacherous kif―until his escape onto the hani ship, The Pride of Chanur.

Little did he know when he threw himself upon the mercy of The Pride and her crew that he put the entire hani species in jeopardy and imperiled the peace of the Compact itself...for the information this fugitive held could be the ruin or glory of any of the species at Meetpoint Station.

Praise for the Chanur novels:

"Furiously paced action... intricate, interesting, precarious alien politics." —Publishers Weekly
 
"Like the other Chanur novels, Chanur's Legacy is a lively tale of swashbuckling capitalism in space... This new series offers good reading and genuine fun." —Locus
 
"Cherryh has given us an alien psychology story, and she has done a grand job. It is a mark of Cherryh's success that here, it is the human who seems alien." —Analog
 
"This is a rousing good tale, and Cherryh's feisty hani are the most believable alien characters to come down the SF pike in a long time." —Kliatt
 
"C.J. Cherryh can be counted on for a fast-paced story and intricately worked-out alien cultures." —San Francisco Chronicle
 
"Desperate and dangerous action, and political on both the grand scale and the small... fascinating aliens and fast-moving adventure. Rating: Three wows and a lot of purring." —SF Review
 
"Purely exhilarating... first-rate science fiction adventure.” —Minneapolis Tribune
 
"Compellingly written, with distinctive characters and well-realized races and cultures." —Fantasy Review
 
"Cherryh's performance as a writer is... on a level of quality to which few writers will ever attain... and uncommonly deft storyteller..." —The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction
 
"The political intrigues are as desperate and incomprehensible as anything in the newspapers... Space opera at its best." —Feminist Bookstore News
