About this listen

Audie Award Finalist, Science Fiction, 2014

It's coming up on Cajeiri's birthday. The boy has been promised he can have the young human children he knew from his voyage sent down from the space station for a two week stay. But there's a far darker business going on in the background - a major split compromising the Assassins' Guild, which furnishes security and law enforcement to the whole continent. Tabini's consort's own father has been barred from court, and may be involved in a new conspiracy against him.

For safety reasons, Tabini wants Bren and Ilisidi to take charge of Cajeiri, and protect him and his young guests. They themselves are very likely targets of whatever's going on, no question of it. So is Cajeiri. But having the targets separated and contained is an advantage. It's Bren's responsibility to entertain the guests, keep the security problem secret...and let a lonely eight-year-old prince reestablish his controversial relationship with the only other children he's ever met...inside the best security they can manage.

The hotly anticipated visit of Cajieri’s human friends takes place - and among the joyous introduction of the space born children to the planet trouble intrudes itself. Further issues within the are uncovered, and Bren Cameron’s team must act.

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.
