© 1981: A stand-alone novel by C J Cherryh. 1st printing of 1988 edition:- Synopsis: Apprentice: "What is reality?" Master "Whatever the strongest say it is". On the planet Freedom, the citizens decide what constitutes reality. And they are selective. They don't count foreign visitors, undesirables, non-humans; so if they don't see you, you don't exist. This way of perceiving rules unopposed until Freedom finds itself under attack - by those outside its reality - and Herrin Law, Freedom's most brilliant mind, is finally made to see:- Review(s): "The most versatile talent of the 70s and 80s" - New York Times / "C J Cherryh just keeps getting better and better" - Marion Zimmer Bradley/ "A consistently thoughtful and entertaining writer" - Publishers Weekly:- (original cost £2.99).

Small octavo, pictorial wrappers. DAW Books 444. Paperback original. Set in the author's Alliance-Union Universe. "Wave Without a Shore is an example of soft science fiction and is a philosophical story that takes place on the planet "Freedom" shared by humans and the alien "Ahnit" race which is native to the planet. Humans had been on Freedom for several hundred years and do not recognize the aliens, they do not see them, and instead use terms such as "invisibles" or "pilferage" when referring to the Ahnit. This idyllic life is shattered when a student confronts the situation and begins consorting with the aliens. As the protagonist begins noticing the Ahnit and even trying to speak about them, he finds, unwillingly, that he too becomes unmentionable. The story is an allegory of race/class/caste relations in modern society with the themes explored including alienation, invisibility, and metaphysics." - Wikipedia. [Reference: Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1516-1985, Additions].
