PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
C. J. Cherryh planned to write since the age of ten. When she was older, she learned to use a type writer while triple-majoring in Classics, Latin and Greek. At 33, she signed over her first three books to DAW and has worked with DAW ever since. She can be found at cherryh.com.
Praise for the Foreigner series: C.J. Cherryh s splendid Foreigner series remains at the top of my must-keep-up reading list after two decades. Number 14, Protector, does not disappoint.... And then there s grownup political intrigue and gunplay for the icing. Locus (for Protector ) One of the best long-running SF series in existence.... Cherryh remains one of the most talented writers in the field. Publisher's Weekly My favorite science fiction series is C. J. Cherryh's Foreigner universe. Cherryh deftly balances alien psychology and human vanities in a character caught between being human and part of an alien race. Denver Post There is plenty of intrigue marvelous attention to detail that makes the culture of the atevi one of the most complex, multi-layered creations in science fiction . The Foreigner series is about as good as it gets so finely and densely wrought that you may end up dreaming of sable-skinned giants with gold eyes, and the silver spun delicacy of interstellar politics. SF Site A seriously probing, thoughtful, intelligent piece of work, with more insight in half a dozen pages than most authors manage in half a hundred. Kirkus Cherryh superbly crafts complex intrigues and alien races possessed of integrity, as well as a sense of otherness. Library Journal A large new Cherryh novel is always welcome...a return to the anthropological science fiction in which she has made such a name is a double pleasure.... Superlatively drawn aliens and characterization. Chicago Sun-Times
