About this listen
The first book in C.J.Cherryh's eponymous series, Foreigner begins an epic tale of the survivors of a lost spacecraft who crash-land on a planet inhabited by a hostile, sentient alien race. From its beginnings as a human-alien story of first contact, the Foreigner series has become a true science fiction odyssey, following a civilization from the age of steam through early space flight to confrontations with other alien species in distant sectors of space. It is the masterwork of a truly remarkable author.

My favourite C J Cherryh series

In this tale the human population is in the minority, totally dependent on the humanoid indigenous population, and after an optimistic beginning, come to realise that even if the Atevi aren’t dissimilar the differences aren’t skin deep.
An exiting and engaging story, with believable world building.
The performance is decent, Atevi words reasonably well pronounced, but different voices aren’t really well done.
Aliens that are truly alien

Unfortunately, I read a review where someone complained that C.J. Cherryh tells you everything over, and over again - this is not an exaggeration. There is an incident early on with a gun under a mattress. Is there a gun under the mattress? There's a gun under a mattress. Will anyone find the gun under the mattress? Remember the gun under the mattress? There was a gun under the mattress. The mattress, with a gun under it.
Even as a sci-fi/fantasy lover, I find too many far-out made-up names tedious. Foreigner is an unending tedium of made up names and titles. It's just an endless stream of monotonous characters... Munchichi, Bunnichie, Paidie, Mydie, Schmidie, Punchichi - Ok, I am being unkind here and making some names up for dramatic review purposes.
The reader seems to be from the William Shatner school of voice acting. With. Pauses. Punctuating in between. Sentences.
Nope, sorry, didn't like this one!
Tedious... Repetitive... Stilted
