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.

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
