C. J. Cherryh planned to write since the age of ten. When she was older, she learned to use a typewriter while triple-majoring in Classics, Latin, and Greek. With more than seventy books to her credit, and the winner of three Hugo Awards, she is one of the most prolific and highly respected authors in the science fiction field. Cherryh was recently named a Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America. She lives in Washington state. 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." --Locus
"This is the kind of anthropological SF of which [Cherryh] is an
acknowledged master." --Booklist "A seriously probing, thoughtful,
intelligent piece of work, with more insight in half a dozen pages
than most authors manage in half a thousand." --Kirkus Reviews
"One of the best long-running SF series in existence...Cherryh
remains one of the most talented writers in the field."
--Publishers Weekly
"This is one of the best science fiction series currently
running....by this point, the series has turned into a complicated
set of thrillers involving political and factional turmoil, as well
as a close and detailed examination of the troubled interactions
between human and alien cultures." --Strange Horizons "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 "Cherryh plays her strongest suit in this exploration
of human/alien contact, producing an incisive study-in-contrast of
what it means to be human in a world where trust is nonexistent."
--Library Journal
"A large new novel from C.J. Cherryh is always welcome. When it
marks her return to the anthropological SF in which she has made
such a name, it is a double pleasure. The ensuing story is not
short on action, but stronger (like much of Cherryh's work) on
world-building, exotic aliens, and characterization. Well up to
Cherryh's usual high standard." --The Chicago Sun-Times "[Cherryh]
avoids any kind of slump with a quick-moving and immediately
engaging plotline, and by balancing satisfying resolutions with
plenty of promises and ominous portents that are sure to keep
readers' appetites whetted." --RT Reviews
"These are thinking man's reads with rich characters and worlds and
fascinating interactions that stretch out over many generations."
--SFFWorld "Cherryh's forte is her handling of cross-cultural
conflicts, which she does by tying her narrative to those things
her point-of-view character would know, think, and feel."--SFRevu
"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
