Product Description

The sixteenth novel in Cherryh’s Foreigner space opera series, a groundbreaking tale of first contact and its consequences…It’s been a year of upheaval, since Bren Cameron’s return from space—a year when he and the aiji-dowager, one of his most powerful atevi allies, returned home from their two-year interstellar mission to find the government over­thrown and their world in chaos.   Now, at last, things are calming down; the Assassins’ Guild is functioning again, working out its internal difficulties, and Bren is settling back into his routine: not as Lord of the Heavens; not—to his regret—as Lord of Najida peninsula, where his leisure estate is located; but as paidhi-aiji, an official in the atevi court.   His current ambition is to keep himself and his bodyguard out of harm’s way, and to shepherd the aiji-dowager’s daring new trade agreement through the appropriate legislative committees. Combined with Tabini-aiji’s recent appointment of his young son Cajeiri as his official heir, Bren’s workload is challenging, but at least things on the atevi world seem to be on the right track.   Something is coming, however, quietly, stealthily, just the first ominous twinkle of a new star in the heavens….

Political intrigues, space ships, interesting and mysterious aliens, well defined and intriguing characters delight. Having read all of the Foreigner novels I must say this is one of the best. The renewed contact with the Kyo race at the Atevi/Human space station amidst the ongoing political challenges brought forward with distinct human factions brings Cherryh's unique vantage point defining the best and worst of humanities nature. If you are unfamiliar with the series you will find the author courteously provides sufficient detail to provide a fully developed back story allowing you to thoroughly enjoy the entire novel. Be forewarned this opens a story arch to be completed in a trilogy holding the pattern of the 15 prior novels of the series. The good fortune if you discover the series now, you will be thoroughly engaged in the opportunity to catch up. Most of the prior stories are quite good, several excellent with no more than two in the entire series that I found wanting. As I said this addition I pleasantly discovered to be one of the best.
