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." --Locus
"This is the kind of anthropological SF of which [Cherryh] is an
acknowledged master." --Booklist "A seriously probing, thoughtful,
intelligent piece of work, with more insight in half a dozen pages
than most authors manage in half a thousand." --Kirkus Reviews
"One of the best long-running SF series in existence...Cherryh
remains one of the most talented writers in the field."
--Publishers Weekly
"This is one of the best science fiction series currently
running....by this point, the series has turned into a complicated
set of thrillers involving political and factional turmoil, as well
as a close and detailed examination of the troubled interactions
between human and alien cultures." --Strange Horizons "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 novel from C.J. Cherryh is always welcome. When it
marks her return to the anthropological SF in which she has made
such a name, it is a double pleasure. The ensuing story is not
short on action, but stronger (like much of Cherryh's work) on
world-building, exotic aliens, and characterization. Well up to
Cherryh's usual high standard." --The Chicago Sun-Times "[Cherryh]
avoids any kind of slump with a quick-moving and immediately
engaging plotline, and by balancing satisfying resolutions with
plenty of promises and ominous portents that are sure to keep
readers' appetites whetted." --RT Reviews
"These are thinking man's reads with rich characters and worlds and
fascinating interactions that stretch out over many generations."
--SFFWorld "Cherryh's forte is her handling of cross-cultural
conflicts, which she does by tying her narrative to those things
her point-of-view character would know, think, and feel."--SFRevu
"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
