"One of the best long-running SF series in existence" (Publishers Weekly) continues with the second novel in a brand-new Foreigner sequence.

The civil war among the alien Atevi has ended. Tabini-aiji, powerful ruler of the Western Association, along with Cajeiri, his son and heir, has returned to the Bujavid, his seat of power. But factions that remain loyal to the opposition are still present, and the danger these rebels pose is far from over.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I certainly would. The plot is so very interesting. I finished it at one go. Didn't sleep all night finishing at daybreak.

What about Daniel Thomas May’s performance did you like?

I love Daniel Thomas May's performance. He made the characters come to life!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes indeed. I got o engrossed that I forego sleep just to complete the book.

Any additional comments?

I can't wait for the next book!!

C J Cherryh is the BEST!!

I think there is too much time spent in the same pleasantries being said over and over and over and not enough progression in the plot. The story so far is not even on book's worth and there is a lot of padding that could be cut here.

Performance is a good as ever.

Ending pretty abrupt.

Just not enough happens
