Publisher's Summary

C.J. Cherryh delivers the eighth book in her Foreigner series and the second book in the new Foreigner trilogy - the epic tale of the survivors of a lost spacecraft who crash-land on a planet inhabited by a hostile, sentient race. From its beginnings as a human-alien story of first contact, the Foreigner series has become a true science fiction odyssey.

Exhausted from a two-year rescue mission to a distant sector of space, and with resources strained by four thousand extra mouths to feed, the crew of the starship Phoenix yearns for the luxuries of home. But when the ship makes the final jump into atevi space, they learn the worst: supplies to their home station have been cut off; civil war has broken out on the atevi mainland; the powerful Western Association has been overthrown; and Tabini-aiji is missing and may be dead.

Just at keeps on being GREAT

Impressed by how well the voice actor deals with this big story and large cast - often when some line of dialogue is read before the speaker is identified (‘They’re taking the hobbits to Isengard!’ said Legolas) I knew who it was because of the voice. Even when the character had just joined the group so there was no reason to expect them. The characters and the politics feel real - I worry for them. And great moments of surprise and humour and warmth. And the relationships between the characters continue to develop and change. Great storytelling.
