1. The Pride of Chanur
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 — a communicative, spacefaring species hitherto unknown — and he was a prisoner of his discoverer/ 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.
2. Chanur’s Venture
Pyanfar Chanur thought she had seen the last of Tully, the lone human who had so disrupted the peace of Meetpoint Station and gained the Chanur clan the enmity of half a dozen races as well as their own. But Tully is back, bringing with him a priceless trade contract with human space. A contract which would mean vast power, riches, and a new hornet’s nest for Pyanfar and the Pride.
3. The Kif Strike Back
When the kif seized Hilfy and Tully, hani and human crew of The Pride of Chanur, they issued a challenge Pyanfar, captain of Pride, couldn’t ignore, a challenge that was to take Pyanfar and her shipmates to Mkks station and into a deadly confrontation between kif, hani, mahendo’sat, and human. And what began as a simple rescue attempt soon blossomed into a dangerous game of interstellar politics, where today’s ally could become tomorrow’s executioner, and where methane breathers became volatile wild cards playing for stakes no oxy breather could even begin to understand…
4. Chanur’s Homecoming
When those enigmatic entities called humans sent their first exploration ship into Compace space all the traditional power alliances of the seven Compact races were totally disrupted. And, giving shelter to Tully, the only surviving human, Pyanfar Chanur and her hani crew were pitched into the centre of a galactic maelstrom, key players in a power game they scarcely understood.
Now, with space stations destroyed by rival factions, unwillingly ‘allied’ with the most devious and untrustworthy kif, and forced to doubt their own long-time champions, the mahendo sat, Pyanfar and her space-going comrades had become the last desperate hope of the entire hani race! For, a one-planet race among whom only the females were allowed into space, the hani were in the direct path of a running space battle which might wipe the very memory of their world from the galactic maps!
5. Chanur’s Legacy
Hiffy Chanur, once a member of her aunt’s crew on The Pride of Chanur, is now captain of her own vessel, Chanur’s Legacy. It should have been the ideal existence for Hiffy, her fondest dream fulfilled, but instead the young captain’s increasingly hard-pressed to take care of her ship’s business.
So when Meetpoint’s stationmaster offers her a million credits to transport a small, mysterious, "religious" object it seems like a golden opportunity—perhaps even too good an opportunity…. Yet despite her misgivings, Hiffy feels it’s a comission she can’t turn down. But soon she and the Legacy are caught in an ever-tightening web of intrigue. And only time will tell whether the young captain can determine who is her ally and who is her enemy in this deadly game of interstellar politics…
