The civil war among the alien atevi has ended. Tabini-aiji, powerful ruler of the Western Association, along with Cajeiri his son and heir, and his human paidhi, Bren Cameron, have returned to the Bujavid, their seat of power.
But factions that remain loyal to the opposition are still present, and the danger these rebels pose is far from over.
Review
"One of the best long-running SF series in existence.... Cherryh remains one of the most talented writers in the field."
(Publishers Weekly )
"Some of the finest work of Cherryh's long and distinguished career."
(Locus )
"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 )
"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."
(SFSite )
"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 )
