About this listen

National best-selling author and winner of three Hugo Awards, C.J. Cherryh returns to the universe of her acclaimed Foreigner trilogy - with an epic tale of the survivors of a lost spacecraft stranded on a planet inhabited by a hostile, sentient race. The beginning of a second trilogy, Precursor follows a single human delegate living among aliens, who are just gaining access to space.

I liked this book best of the series so far: the main character now knows more and is more confident, so the reader travelling alongside him is also less confused. Some of my favourite characters reappear. The narrator is very good, although his female voices are a little whiny. I try to overlook that!

There is a good fan website that helps track all the characters and locations, especially if you are listening to the audiobooks, just google Shejidan Wiki Fandom

Great political drama set in space!
