Zusatztext 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 Informationen zum Autor C.
