Castaway Kurt Morgan will live the rest of his life among the humanoid

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.

The only thing I have read of Cherryh's was many years ago. I started
"The Faded Sun: Kesrith" I think it was, and kind of bounced off it. The
"Mri"(?) seemed like Fremen or jihadists in robes and swords, and I just
couldn't get into it. But as I say, it was many years ago, and I may be
mis-remembering. She has been around a long time and written many books,
and seems to be popular still, so maybe I should try something of hers
again.
