It has been two years since the starship Phoenix left Alpha Station on a rescue mission to a faraway sector of space where over four thousand human spacers were under attack by a hostile alien race. Now, the Phoenix is almost home, having successfully rescued the stranded colonists through the combined negotiating talents of Bren Cameron-brilliant human paidhi to the atevi court, currently representing Tabini-aiji, the atevi ruler-and of Tabini's grandmother llisidi, the aiji-dowager, a fearsome, wily, and ambitious atevi leader in her own right.
Publisher's Notes

Forge of Heaven
by C. J. Cherryh
One of today's bestselling and most critically acclaimed writers of science fiction and fantasy, C. J. Cherryh has been entertaining readers for more than thirty years with beautifully imagined, complex novels of intrigue and adventure. With Hammerfall she began an entirely new universe -- her first in three decades -- and an enthralling tale of mystery and survival on a desert world devastated by nanotechnology. Now she returns to the captivating universe of The Gene Wars in a brilliant, visionary story that reaches from the desert to the stars. Forge of Heaven At the far edge of the galaxy, tiny Concord Station holds a unique place in the universe -- the one place where humans from Earth, the strange Outsider worlds, and the extremely powerful, alien ondat all coexist, bound together to the fate of the fragile world below. Scarred by vicious nanotechnology unleashed by the powerful ondat, this lone desert planet acts as the crucible to determine whether there can be peace between the far-spanning empires of the universe, or unending, unstoppable war to rival even the cataclysmic Gene Wars that once devastated untold galaxies. Born the son of a desert prince, Marak trin Tain knows all too well the knife edge between diplomacy and disaster. Centuries ago he was caught in the battle between the terrorist First Movement and Earth, and the resulting destruction when the ondat sent planet-crushing missiles to prevent contagion from uncontrolled nanotechnology. Now, immortal but not invulnerable, he shepherds the evolving world and its brave inhabitants toward a new future. But this utopia is hardly idyllic, and a journey of discovery becomes one of desperation when a violent act of nature threatens even Marak's own survival. High above on Concord Station, intrigues andalliances from every faction of Earth and the Outsider colonies fight for influence, while the implacable ondat pursue their own unfathomable goals. In the midst of dangerous collusion, all the watcherProcyon wants is to record the miracles of the planet evolving below, sharing in the undreamed-of wonder of watching a new world grow. But the surprise arrival of a ship from Earth upsets the delicate balance of power on the station, and a deadly attack becomes the opportunity for rebellion. Caught up in a web of danger and intrigue, Procyon will step far beyond his comfortable life into a nightmare of dangers, as plot within plot unravels with disastrous consequences. For the fate of one man could decide the future of human and alien alike ... and the ondat are watching.

Destroyer
Cherryh, C. J
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Daw Books, 2005. The story, till now - The starship Phoenix left a colony of humans on a world ruled by the volatile atevi, then disappeared into space to return unexpectedly two centuries later. The starship’s sudden reappearance threatened to shatter the races’ hard-won peace, but her captains revealed a greater threat to the planetbound atevi: the unknown race that had attacked the starship’s deep space outpost might follow and invade their world. Then a terrible secret came out - survivors were left behind on distant Reunion Station, and Phoenix was forced to return to hostile territory and search for survivors. On board were Bren Cameron, human liaison to the atevi court, the aiji-dowager - the ruling aiji’s indomitable grandmother - and her young great-grandson, heir to a continent-spanning power. The mission was successful, though it hadn’t been easy defusing tensions with the alien kyo, nor was it easy smoothing relations between the provincial Reunion refugees and the protocol-loving atevi on board. Yet Bren had managed, and now, two years after she left, Phoenix has returned home with more than 4,000 anxious passengers in tow - all eagerly looking forward to the wonderful lives they’d been promised. But devastating news awaits their arrival - The government has collapsed - the aiji is missing. The Phoenix has come home to a world embroiled in civil war. Is the aiji in hiding, or has he been assassinated? Might an eight-year-old boy already be the new ruler? Once again, Bren must make a treacherous journey through rebel territory to find the aiji and bring him - or his heir - to power before human-atevi relations collapse irrevocably.
