Flint has a lighter hand, adds bit of humor now and then

Also really like Cuckoo's egg

M Nights has lots of contributions by other authors

Chanur's Legacy was just fair

Was told by someone yrs ago her last name is Cherry but she added h to be distinctive

Super highly recommend Paladin!!

Ferrets are Cool

While I am more into epic fantasy, her SF is very good. You have to sort through the Dragon series to find them though.

My favorite SF of all time is Stephen R. Donaldson's Gap series. You will NOT be disappointed.

and go on to anything else of hers that grabs you.

Robert Charles Wilson. My favorite of his is "A Bridge of Years".

Jack McDevitt. He has two series going, and they are both excellent.
