Hi Kellie,

Don't feel dumb as dirt! Smile. The book you are looking for is Regenesis. It is the sequel to Cyteen. It is available from BARD at http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.nls/db.68751 if you didn't find it when you searched BARD.

Count me in for wanting to see this book added to the Bookshare collection too. I'm going to make a wish list request for it. smile.

Also, there is often confusion about the Cyteen books. The listing on Fantaticfiction.com is slightly confusing.

So here's the history, condensed from an article Cherryh put on her website a few years ago to help clear up the confusion. smile.

Originally, C.J. Cherryh's book was published as one thick book, Cyteen. When it went into reprints from a different publisher down the road, the publisher balked at having it remain one book. The published insisted on having it chopped into three novels, against her wishes and her best judgment, which were called:

Cyteen: The Betrayal (book 1)
Cyteen: The Rebirth (book 2)
Cyteen: The Vindication (book 3)

Cherryh hated it being chopped up this way and has felt since then that it is confusing for the reader and was a mistake for her to allow to have happened. Since then she has insisted that any other re-issued or updated versions of Cyteen are in its original one-book format. So the book "Cyteen" is not an omnibus. It's the book as it was originally published. smile.

Bookshare does not have the original book as it was published. Instead, the collection has the three-book versions (The Betrayal, The Rebirth, the Vindication).

Oh my word, how did I mess That up? Have you found it? I'm on BARD now, I'll check there and if I find it, it won't need scanning for my sake.
But yes, that's it!

Hi, Kelly.
I just checked on Paperbackswap. The Paperback of the fifth one isn't available so I added it to my wishlist. I couldn't find the fourth one at all. Is there another title for it? I checked with Vengeance and Cyteen 4 and Cyteen,
Book 4 and found nothing under C. J. Cherryh.

Hi all.
I just read Cyteen by C. J. Cherryh. But I found out I only had the
first 3 books and there are 5 in the series! Bookshare has the original
3, and I'm desperate to read the 4th and 5th.
They are Vengeance (Cyteen 4) and Regenesis (Cyteen 5) Cyteen is loosely
linked to the larger Union/Alliance series, but is kind of an offshoot.

If anyone would scan these, I would be more than happy to proofread.

Thanks all, and it's good to be back,
Kellie Hatmann

I don't think there's another name. I've really hunted on this one;
truly hard to find.
