I just finished reading the book Foreigner by C.J. Cherryh. It’s an interesting political intrigue novel where no one, not even the human main character, knows what’s going on. The main character, Bren, is a human diplomat on an alien world, where the alien mind is vastly different than human, and becomes embroiled in a political uprising that he’s not even sure is about him or humanity. The dialogue is superb and Bren’s character really shines when he’s trying to figure out the complex weave of politics that he has to deal with. I enjoyed it immensely, especially the first two parts, though at times Bren got a little too long-winded when he was trying to figure out the motives of the people around him.
