Description: PRAISE FOR THE FOREIGNER NOVELS: " Cherryh's splendid Foreigner series remains at the top of my must-keep-up reading lis t after two decades."-- Locus " One of the best long-running SF series in existence ....provides a riveting plot that emphasizes intense human/alien interaction.... Cherryh remains one of the most talented writers in the field."-- Publishers Weekly "A seriously probling, thoughtful, intelligent piece of work , with more insight in half a dozen pages than most authors manage in half a hundred."-- Kirkus "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 " Cherryh plays her strongest suit in this exploration of human/alien contact, producing an incisive study-in-contrast of what it means to be human in a world where trust is nonexistent." -- 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 "A standout among Cherryh's generally excellent stories about human-alien relations ."-- Booklist "A rich character dialogue and plot twists will keep you reading long into the night ."-- RT Reviews "C.J. Cherryh is the best writer of first-contact stories in the business .... [The Foreigner series] is her masterwork."--SF Site From the Hardcover edition.
