Pyanfar Chanur has no personality? Tully has no personality? I'd watch
out for 6' tall Michael Whelan cats if I were you...

And McCaffrey isn't an irish name, is it? Sounds more scottish. I know
she lives in Ireland but I thought that was because of the tax breaks
for creative artists.

And gee, on the local bulletin boards we just had a discussion about how
bad her male characters are. They all talk like a '50s western.

I like her stuff, but to compare Cherryh unfavorably with her? Ick.
