The Humanx Commonwealth Trilogy By Alan Dean Foster

Description: Phylogenesis (Book One of the Founding of the Humanx Commonwealth, 2000, Third Printing, ISBN 0345418611, 289 pages): In the years after first contact, humans and the intelligent insect-like Thranx agree to a tentative sharing of ideas and cultures despite the ingrained repulsion they have yet to overcome. Thus a slow, lengthy, process of limited contact begins. But they never planned for a chance meeting between Desvendapur, a misfit Thranx poet, and Cheelo Montoya, a petty human thief. Together they will embark upon a journey that will forever change their beliefs, their futures, and their worlds.Dirge (Book Two of the Founding of the Humanx Commonwealth, 2001, Second Printing, ISBN 0345418638, 289 pages): In the second half of the twenty-fourth century, diplomatic relations proceed cautiously between Thranx and humans. But the insectlike beings are nearly forgotten with the sudden discovery of an ideal planet to colonize - Argus V - and the startling appearance of a new race of space-faring aliens, the Pitar. People are dazzled by this beautiful and glamorous new race. Then tragedy strikes. The entire human population on Argus V is brutally slaughtered. Not a single clue remains to identify the unseen executioners. But from a tiny inner moon of Argus V comes a faint signal. On that insignificant chunk of rubble lies the key to the crime - setting in motion a cataclysmic chain of events with deadly consequences for Thranx, Pitar, and human alike. For their worlds will be changed forever by a colossal battle that is their future and their destiny. Diuturnity's Dawn (Book Three of the Founding of the Humanx Commonwealth, 2003, First Printing, ISBN 0345418662, 319 pages): From the beginning, contact between humankind and the Thranx has been tenuous at best. Nearly a century after first contact, the likelihood of closer human/Thranx relations is as far away as ever. Yet idealists on both sides refuse to surrender their dreams of achieving an alliance. Among the most dedicated are a minor diplomat named Fanielle Anjou and her Thranx counterpart. Others intend to make sure such a liaison never comes to pass - by any means necessary. For these xenophobes, the upcoming Humanx Inter-Cultural Fair, the first wholly cross-species event, is a hideous confirmation of their worst fears. Zealots on both sides vow it will be the last of its kind, no matter how many must die. In the coming conflagration Fanielle holds the key to triumph, but only if she can outwit those desperate to silence her forever.
