Currently working my way through C.J. Cherryh's Alliance/Union books, and...
I've just finished up Tripoint and the next one is Finity's End, which I don't have yet (it's on the way), so I best put on my big cat pants and tackle Cyteen 'early'.
Cyteen is 45cm thick. It's a monster of a book. I suspect at the rate I'm going, it's going to last me most of this year. 👀
