If you loved the relentless drive of Pell Station’s struggle for survival in Downbelow Station, you’ll be riveted by Leviathan Wakes. The crew of the Rocinante gets swept into a galactic crisis when they uncover a secret that could shift the balance of power in the solar system. Like Cherryh's novel, the plot races forward with urgent objectives, dangerous alliances, and the ever-present threat of war.

Enjoyed following Pell Station’s diverse cast as they juggled alliances and betrayals? A Memory Called Empire drops you into the heart of an interstellar empire where ambassador Mahit Dzmare must rely on both new allies and old influences. The story weaves together diplomats, rulers, and revolutionaries, giving you the same ensemble-driven intrigue and complexity found in Cherryh’s work.

If you were captivated by the shades-of-grey decisions made by characters like Signy Mallory and Damon Konstantin, you’ll find The Dispossessed equally thought-provoking. Physicist Shevek, torn between two societies with flawed ideologies, must navigate personal ambition and communal responsibility, forcing you to question notions of right and wrong in a divided universe.

If you were drawn into the layered history and richly textured setting of Pell’s World and the Company Wars, Children of Time will blow you away. Tchaikovsky crafts not just a planet, but an entire evolving ecosystem of sentient spiders and human survivors, spanning centuries of cultural development and technological progress. It’s a feast for fans of deep, expansive worldbuilding.

If the backroom deals, shifting allegiances, and power struggles of Downbelow Station kept you turning pages, you’ll find Dune irresistible. Follow Paul Atreides as he navigates the treacherous politics of Arrakis, where every alliance and betrayal can mean the difference between survival and annihilation. The stakes and machinations are as intense—and as satisfying—as anything Cherryh delivers.
