This omnibus edition of two novels set in C.J. Cherryh's most renowned universe--the Union-Alliance Universe--marks the first time these books have been available in more than a decade. Merchanter's Luck is an unforgettable story of two spacers who accomplish something amazing together that neither could have achieved alone. Forty Thousand in Gehenna traces the history of a unique civilization that arises from descendants of human colonists and native alien species. Together these two novels further explore the fascinating universe Cherryh created in her Hugo award-winning novels, Downbelow Station and Cyteen.

Industry Reviews

Praise for the novels of Alliance Space "Merchanter's Luck is a story of transformation, not magical or mysterious but accomplished slowly through hard work. It is also about the power of misunderstanding and the courage of trust.... Filled with background details, customs, and a past, Merchanter's Luck is another exceptional C.J. Cherryh novel." --Science Fiction Review

"Cherryh's talent for inventing fully realized and detailed societies improves an already good adventure." --Library Journal

"Well worked out, fun and well worth your money. Enjoy." --Analog

"Cherryh tantalizes our minds with these enigmatic aliens, captures our hearts with her characters, and involves us completely with her mix of broad and narrow views of a culture's rise. Once again, Cherryh proves herself a consistently thoughtful and entertaining writer." --Publishers Weekly

"When Cherryh is writing at her best, there are few in the field who can touch her, and this is very close to being her very best.... One of the most thoughtful novels of the past few years." --S. F. Chronicle

"In the guise of crisp, science-oriented speculation and adventure, [40,000 in Gehenna] proves to be a wider exploration of alienness, sexual roles, and humanity." --Locus
