Although /some/ of her series make sense and might even be
intentionally set in the same future, I suspect that others are the
result of the publisher's wanting every book to be in a Series.

I don't recall /ever/ believing that /Brothers of Earth/ and /Hunter
of Worlds/ had anything in common except the author.

A lot of mine were SFBC editions, some quite early. Indeed, my first
CJ Cherryh was a genuine series: The Faded Sun. After that, anything
she wrote was a mandatory purchase/read.

Being this tight with SFBC may or may not have affected availability.
