What I will be reading as of tomorrow afternoon. I actually had to tell the library to order this book. They have the other 9 in the series, but seem to have missed this one. They moved pretty fast, since I think I put the request in less than 2 weeks ago.
The Foreigner series is one of the best SF series when it comes to portraying alien psychology. Sure, a lot is cribbed from feudal Japan and possibly even social insects, but Cherryh really manages to project a real sense of 'otherness' onto her aliens.
