I found this an enjoyable read that fell away rather badly in the last chapter. I suspect CJ Cherryh had to do some serious scene setting for the next books in this series. The action seemed to stop and get replaced with a great deal of introspection about politics and Associations in the South and Weest. Also the relationship between Bren and Jago seemed to have cooled.
Still the series is very enjoyable and it's good to have it back.

This is a great addition to a superlative series and I am resisting the temptation to read the next volume in hardback rather than wait till the neater pb comes out.
This episode sees Bren, the Dowager Aiji and their bodyguards from the Assassin's Guild holding off attacks on the home estate after rescuing an absconding Cajeiri (going stir crazy after his return from space and subsequent adventures in the closing days of rebellion to the disciplines of parental and tutorial supervision)from an ill advised sailing venture in the period after Tabini's return to power as Aiji.
A quiet holiday, in which Bren had hoped to wrestle with the social implications of the likely advent of the mobile phone into Atevi society, turns into unexpected mayhem and, as usual in this series, it is the development of the characters and the exploration of subtle and not so subtle differences in social mores that supports the action.
Long may the Foreigner series continue - it's the only SF series I can think of which sustains itself so well over such a number of volumes.

The latest installment of Cherryh's "Foreigner Series - and I found it un-put-downable. Like the rest of the Series, I'm sure my copy will be read, and re-read, until the next installment becomes available.
