_Gate of Ivrel_ and its sequels (in the _Chronicles of Morgaine_
collected edition -- *eek* what an awful title ...).  I absolutely
loved them, and must have read them about 20 times since (the old book
is getting rather battered, and the cover won't last much longer ...)
_Gate of Ivrel_ is truly amazing when you realise it was Cherryh's
first published novel.

After that I read _Downbelow Station_ next -- found Signy Mallory
delightfully interesting. Then it was the turn of such of the Chanur
books as were then available ... after that, I didn't have a chance!
