| - Cuckoo's Egg is a science fiction novel by American writer C. J. Cherryh, which introduces a fictional race (the Shonunin) raising a human boy. It was published by DAW Books in 1985, and there was also a limited hardcover printing by Phantasia Press in the same year. The book was nominated for the Hugo Award and longlisted the Locus Award for Best Novel. It was later reprinted along with Cherryh's novel Serpent's Reach in the 2005 omnibus volume The Deep Beyond. The book's title is a reference the practice of brood parasitism among certain species of cuckoos, both Old and New World birds. In this practice, the cuckoos lay their eggs in other birds' nests and the unwitting hosts then expend their energy hatching the cuckoo's eggs, even at the potential expense of their own offspring. The metaphor is not correctly applied in this case because the Shonun in the book is knowingly and deliberately raising a human child rather than having been tricked into doing so. In Cuckoo's Egg Cherryh adopts the less common approach in science fiction stories containing aliens of relating the story from the alien's (Shonunin) perspective, thus making the humans the aliens.

Ce récit, qui raconte l'éducation d'un enfant humain élevé par un alien de la race des Shonun, prend le lecteur à contrepied en adoptant le point de vue des Shonun, pour qui les humains sont des aliens. À la suite des violents combats qui les ont opposés à une équipe de reconnaissance humaine, les Shonun décident d'élever un enfant humain, obtenu par clonage à partir de l'ADN d'un des membres de l'expédition, qui pourra servir d'émissaire et empêcher un conflit destructeur quand d'autres humains se présenteront. Peu à peu, l'enfant s'initie aux lois et aux pratiques de la communauté. Il suit l'enseignement des juges-guerriers pour se préparer au mieux au rôle auquel il est destiné.
