Message: <blockquote data-quote="Artur Hawkwing" data-source="post: 5703859" data-attributes="member: 50177">Chanur: A lot of people have issues with C.J.'s writing because her stories often center around strong female characters with weak male characters, especially in her space born stories. The Chanur Saga gets a bad rap because the Human Race isn't the center of the story. The first book was okay, the trilogy that followed was excellent, IMHO.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chanur_novels" target="_blank">The Chanur novels - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</a>Lensman: This series was sort of ahead of its time. Reading Triplanetary would get you a good hang of the series. There was an anime style movie in the 90's that really didn't have a lot of connection to the series.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lensman" target="_blank">Lensman series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</a>Empire of the East: Great book even just as a stand alone. I'm including the wiki link for the Books of Swords, which does cover the Empire of the East, which is a rewrite as one novel of the 4 shorter novels comprising the Empire of the East series. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Books_of_the_Swords" target="_blank">Books of the Swords - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</a></blockquote>
