The hardcover edition of the latest Chanur book is entitled not "Chanur's
Revenge" but "The Kif Strike Back."  (Ouch!)  As it happens, I had the 
opportunity to ask C. J. Cherryh about the title change this weekend.  She 
told me that she's planning a total of FOUR Chanur books.  "The Pride of 
Chanur" is a stand-alone novel, to be followed by a trilogy of which "Chanur's 
Venture" is the first book.

The story behind the title switch is this:  At some point, she joked in an 
editor's hearing that she wanted to title the trilogy 

	"Chanur's Revenge", 
	"The Kif Strike Back", and 
	"Chanur Cleans House" (!!)
	
By that time, "Chanur's Venture" had already been firmly titled, but the
editor decided to USE "The Kif Strike Back".  However, the third book will 
actually be titled "Chanur's Homecoming."  (Well, we'll see.)
