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.

"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.
