Talk:Merovingen Nights

Alliance-Union universe?
Needs documentation that this is part of the Alliance-Union universe. Cherryh's home page does not confirm this, and suggests it is not true. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Johnwcowan (talk • contribs) 18:36, 11 July 2006.


 * Hi, Johnwcowan, thank you for your comment. The book Angel With the Sword actually goes to great lengths (in an Appendix) to discuss how the Merovingen Nights series fits into the A-U universe.  In fact, Angel has one of the most complete A-U timelines Cherryh has ever published.  Anyone who has the book can easily verify this.  If you think it needs a specific citation in the article, go ahead and mark the article with a "citation needed" template and I'll try to put in an appropriate reference.  Also, you might want to take a look at the various articles in Category:C. J. Cherryh.  Some of the articles there are in good shape, and some need a fair amount of work.  Any contributions you can make would be most appreciated!  Cheers,  Fairsing 01:24, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Angel With the Sword
Hi. A minor point, but I think it needs clarifying that Angel was published as a novel in it's own right. Merovingen Nights came along a few years later as a spin-off. The cover art you have is misleading - the novel was republished with Nights branding to coincide with the series. The original cover can be seen here: http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/c/c-j-cherryh/angel-with-sword.htm. I believe Angel should be listed separately to Merovingen Nights, though obviously linked. I would also take some issue with the description of "science fantasy" - as you have said above, the book's link into the Alliance/Union universe is very strong. Comparison with the "Swords and Planets" genre is unwarranted. Low tech doesn't equal fantasy!! Spiderdavon (talk) 20:16, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I've uploaded the original cover of Angel With the Sword and added a bit on the fact that it was a free-standing novel. Angel could be listed separately and linked to the series, someone just has to do it. I personally haven't read the book. Regarding the genre, I'm going to leave that until we have consensus from other editors on what it should be. --Bruce1eetalk 06:50, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
