Praise for Precursor…
“An addition to Cherryh’s superior alien-contact series…Another intriguing human/alien struggle.”-Kirkus Reviews”A powerful look at the effects of alienation on individuals and societies.”-Locus
…and C.J. Cherryh’s Foreigner Universe:
“Superlatively drawn aliens and characterization…a return to the anthropological science fiction in which [Cherryh] has made such a name is a double pleasure.”-Chicago Sun-Times
“An incisive study-in-contrast of what it means to be human.”-Library Journal
