It's been a year of upheaval since Bren Cameron's return from space - a year since he and the aiji-dowager, one of his most powerful atevi allies, returned home from their two-year interstellar mission to find the government overthrown and their world in chaos. Now, at last, things on the atevi world seem to be on the right track, and Bren hopes that life may soon become much more tranquil. But something is coming, quietly, stealthily - just the first ominous twinkle of a new star in the heavens....

Visitor is the most recent novel in Cherryh's fascinating story of politics and cultural clash in interstellar space. By now, the reader is art home with a wide cast of characters, factions, communities of interest and personalities. Developments in Visitor are unexpected and compelling -- but don't start here. The back story is essential, the personalities of major and minor characters have been painstakingly developed over time, and the entire series is worthy of time, credits and attention. There is a good bit of intellectual speculation -- a virtue, in my view.

Complex, richly imagined political novel

I like Mr May as narrator. But in the last few books his voice characterizations has changed. He has now given Sean Tyers the voice that used to be Toby’s. And he has given Toby a Bostonian Kennedy-like accent (fah and weathuh for car and weather). But it is what it is.

Foreigner is hands down one of my favorite science fiction series. So much subtlety, so much of a character journey across the course of the books. I wasn't sure how Cherryh would top the other books, but Visitor blew me away. This book brings everything together and shoots it off in a new direction that I never saw coming. I can't wait for the next one!

Narration, as always, was superb. If you're this far into the series, I probably don't even need to recommend this book, but if you need an extra nudge - go read it. Read it now. You won't regret it!

My favorite in the series so far

I was not sure about this series when I first started to listen to it. Once I did, I was hooked!

Still the best science fiction/space! I have been following and collecting this series from the very beginning and I can still listen to the series again and again. It is that good. C J Cherryh is a brilliant writer. The plot is so....GOOD! Daniel Thomas May is wonderful with his different voices for the characters. I especially like his voices for Bren Cameron and the Ahji Dowager. In fact I like them all. Thank you Audible for replacing the missing chapters. I am looking forward to the next book which I hope will come out soon?

SUPERB! BRILLIANT WRITER AND GREAT NARRATOR.

I am not sure how Cherryh does it, but even 17 books into this series, I still find myself wanting more. I recently went back and listened to the preceding 16 books prior the Visitor and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This latest venture was fun and an another opportunity for Bren Cameron to "save the day". There are some interesting twists in this story that are revealed at the end that clearly set the stage for more. Daniel Thomas May continues to provide depth to each character with his wonderful performance.

Very satisfying

What made the experience of listening to Visitor the most enjoyable?

I have loved this series since the beginning many years ago. Listening/reading the first novel Foreigner, from so long ago, it's now easier to pick out the "dated" references to technology no longer relevant. I love how the newer novels subtly update this. This installment also has a twist that has me still looking forward to the next book, even after all these years.

For those that said their downloads seemed to be missing parts of chapters, my download was complete and free from glitches. I purchased and downloaded 07Apr16. Mr. May's narration was as excellent as ever.

Good story, fresh twist, still loving the series!

The initial problem with Visitors was it was missing the last two chapter. Knowing why the Reunion was attacked was a point of closure. in the book

The earliest downloads of this book were missing two large chunks of text -- about 60 pages, in all. The download now available is complete. Excellent, startling, thought-provoking addition to the Foreigner series.
