![]() ![]() ![]() It's not that you won't like Bren Cameron. Unfortunately, she makes us look at this interesting scenario and fascinating "others" through the eyes of one of the most emotionally volatile, naive (immature?), bumbling characters I've ever read. C J Cherryh is terrific at painting an anthropological sci-fi study of a foreign people with their own culture, politics, biology, and language. A colonial starship goes off course and a group of colonists is forced to set up shop on a planet in an unknown star system already inhabited by a sentient species. The setup and backdrop for the Foreigner Universe is absolutely wonderful. I won't be spending any more credits on this series, but it isn't the pacing that is putting me off, it's the main character that I just cannot stomach any longer. I have now finished Foreigner and Invader (Book2) and I've made my decision. ![]() However, several reviewers have said that the series picks up after Book 1 so I decided to try at least two books in this series. I've hesitated because several reviewers have commented on the slow pace of the first book, Foreigner: Foreigner Sequence 1, Book 1, and I tend to get frustrated with slow books. I have been considering the Foreigner series for awhile and since Audible has recently added some more titles to the series I decided to take the plunge. ![]()
