More About the Author

I've written sf and fantasy for publication since 1975...but I've written a lot longer than that. I have a background in Mediterranean archaeology, Latin, Greek, that sort of thing; my hobbies are travel, photography, planetary geology, physics, pond-building for koi...I run a marine tank, can plumb most anything, and I figure-skate.

I believe in the future: I'm an optimist for good reason---I've studied a lot of history, in which, yes, there is climate change, and our species has been through it. We've never faced it fully armed with what we now know, and if we play our cards right, we'll use it as a technological springboard and carry on in very interesting ways.

I also believe a writer owes a reader a book that has more than general despair to spread about: I write about clever, determined people who don't put up with situations, not for long, anyway: people who find solutions inspire me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Last of the Cyteen Trilogy, April 4, 2000

By

This review is from: Cyteen III: The Vindication (Mass Market Paperback)

The culmination of books one and two,' The Betrayl' and 'The Rebirth', the Vindication finally wraps up the saga and all the loose ends and potetials that Cherryth has so wickedly created. A lesser author would lose you with the complexity of the characters and the plot and the world, but Cherryth just manages to capture your mind, suck it into the book, and hold it hostage until the thing is done. WARNING, do not start reading this book before a work day. Or, any of Cherryth's. Start on friday night, so that you will have plenty of time or you might end up in a lot of trouble. By the end of this book, you will want to re-read all the alliance books just to reexperience the saga now that Union has been made real to you.

As a public service announcement, the other books loosely in the order written is 'Merchenter's Luck', 'DownBelow Station', 'Forty Thousand in Gehenna', 'RimRunner', and 'Tripoint'.

5.0 out of 5 stars ...glimpses the future, food for thought., March 4, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Cyteen III: The Vindication (Mass Market Paperback)

I enjoyed all three books of the Cyteen trilogy, and Vindication was an excellent conclusion to the series. Besides good character development, the book vividly describes a society and future for the human race that is credible and believable.

Human cloning is possible today. In the future of "Cyteen", human cloning techniques have developed to the point that copies of people can be produced and raised so that the copies, in effect are the original people, down to their memories, feeling and reactions to specific stimuli.

Ari Emory, the clone, political leader of Union, lives to take revenge on those who assasinated her original. Quite a concept, and carried out brilliantly by Cherryh, one of the finest writers of fiction I have ever read. Dan Kardas

Buy the complete Cyteen version Cyteen not this. The publisher decided to chop Cyteen into 3 pieces and publish them separately - without the author's knowledge.
