sophiaI'm so tired of teenagers being "the chosen ones" in fiction. please, let a middle-aged woman save the universe! she's seen some shit and dealt with it. she's tired of it all. she doesn't give a fuck. she's angry. she will get this shit done.
AlsoPaisleyCat 🇨🇦Let me introduce you to Pyanfar Chanur, hard-boiled middle-aged merchant captain in CJ Cherryh’s wonderful Chanur series in her Alliance-Union Universe. When human contact threatens to destabilize the multi species trade Compact her felinoid Haan belong to, she finds herself taking on leadership no one had expected.
Start with ‘Pride of Chanur’.
Cherryh is a Grand Master of Science Fiction, a 3 time Hugo award winner. Many of her books are from the perspective of characters adjacent to major events.
@MichaelWhelan did the wonderful cover.
