Description: Praise for the Foreigner series: "C.J. Cherryh's splendid Foreigner series remains at the top of my must-keep-up reading list after two decades. Number 14, Protector , does not disappoint.... And then there's grownup political intrigue and gunplay for the icing." -- Locus (for Protector ) " One of the best long-running SF series in existence. ... Cherryh remains one of the most talented writers in the field." -- Publisher's Weekly "My favorite science fiction series is C. J. Cherryh's Foreigner universe. Cherryh deftly balances alien psychology and human vanities in a character caught between being human and part of an alien race." -- Denver Post "There is plenty of intrigue...marvelous attention to detail that makes the culture of the atevi one of the most complex, multi-layered creations in science fiction.... The Foreigner series is about as good as it gets ...so finely and densely wrought that you may end up dreaming of sable-skinned giants with gold eyes, and the silver spun delicacy of interstellar politics." --SF Site " A seriously probing, thoughtful, intelligent piece of work, with more insight in half a dozen pages than most authors manage in half a hundred." -- Kirkus "Cherryh superbly crafts complex intrigues and alien races possessed of integrity, as well as a sense of otherness." -- Library Journal "A large new Cherryh novel is always welcome...a return to the anthropological science fiction in which she has made such a name is a double pleasure.... Superlatively drawn aliens and characterization. " -- Chicago Sun-Times
