Review – Resurgence

I just wanted to do a quick review of C.J. Cherryh’s Resurgence, just because three books ago I said I wouldn’t review any more of her Foreigner novels; I didn’t want to keep bagging on them, how tedious I thought they’d gotten, how much exposition was crammed in them, and how there were just too many

Review: Visitor

I put off reading this book for a while because I thought the series hit a low point: overcomplicated, too much back story, and moving at a snail’s pace. I was worried that this book was going to be even more of a slog than the last one. Man, I wish I could say I’d been

I enjoy catching up with the characters I’ve known for so long, watching their interactions,

Review: Peacemaker

Peacemaker is the latest book in C.J. Cherryh’s Foreigner universe. Calling it an epic series doesn’t seem to do it justice: it’s now a full five trilogies long. And Cherryh’s still not done: she’s working on the first book in the sixth Foreigner Sequence. I don’t exactly have a short attention span, but even I
