About this listen

The three-time Hugo Award-winning author continues her second trilogy in the "superior alien-contact series." (Kirkus Reviews) National best-selling author and winner of three Hugo Awards, C.J. Cherryh presents book two of her second Foreigner trilogy - the epic story of a single human delegate on a hostile alien planet. In this long-awaited sequel to Precursor, the alien atevi enter the treacherous politics of space travel-as their one human negotiator is caught in the throes of a mutiny.

This is one of my favourites in the series so far. A good mix of talk and action, and by this stage readers understand the atevi culture so well it feels like home. I won't put any spoilers here but I enjoyed this. There is a good fan website with glossaries, maps and more - google Fandom Shejidan Wiki
