Description:

### Review Cherryh has given us an alien psychology story, and she has done a grand job.  It is a mark of Cherryh's success thet here it is the human who seems alien --Analog This book and the rest of the Chanur series...comprise one of the best scence fiction tales ever. Don't miss it." --Minneapolis Star and Tribune "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.... These swaggering, vain, tough-talking, hani heroines make Chewbacca look like a pussycat." --Kliatt "C.J. Cherryh can be counted on for a fast-paced story and intricately worked-out alien cultures." --San Francisco Chronicle
