About this listen

"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.

Profile Image for Quiet Queen

The decidedly unrestful holiday

Tranquility has not descended on Najida, Bren Cameron’s costal estate - high-powered visitors and aggressive neighbours precludes that. And Cajieri, Tabini’s young heir, is quarrelling with his new bodyguard. The political situation escalates, and evidence starts pointing in quite disturbing directions. Who do you send where no one can go? The phaidi-aiji of course.

C.J. Cherryh writes in a lucid style, full of delightful phrasings that percolates in your imagination for a long time - the mark of a quality writer.

The performance is uneven - generally good, many voices are excellently done and totally apt for the character. Some voices the performer struggles with, which makes the listening experience less enjoyable. And then there’s the strangely villainous voice chosen for the powerful, intelligent, and far seeing ruler of the Aishidi’tat, Taibini. So strange and off-putting!
