UN CYCLE QUI FAIT VIBRER ...
Une critique en anglais ! Ce n'est pas de la prétention ! c'est seulement pour rendre hommage à l'auteur américaine c. j.
Cherryh qui m'a contraint à lire de la SF en vo car je ne pouvais endurer l'absence de nouvelles traductions françaises
EXPLORER is the sixth book of the second arc in the Foreigner's novels universe and it is the concluding volume in the second trilogy of this fascinating universe ..
Bren is now " lord of the Province of Heaven " ...
It is a beautiful way to tell about his job but clearly : Bren's work will not be a fairy tell !
Then he is now in a way responsible for the staff aboard the ( human-alien for a while ) ship which is known for the various factions which are still not fully reconciled yet ( is that even possible ? ) ...
The Bren's tasks is at first to establish a working relationship with the human first captain and he is also intending to work with :
Jase ... with the ajii mother ( Ilisidi ) and with the mospheiran scientist ( Ginny ) and his ( Bren's ) atevi staff as well ..
As you guess ! complexity is quietly going to increase and it is INTENSE .. i mean in a quiet way ...
Specially because of those aliens ... those new alien invaders that everybody's will mainly have to care about whatever the faction they are in ... and this for quite a while ...
Reunion station has been attacked that will be a main subject to work about ..
Those new coming aliens are clearly a main intrest of this " episode "
Cherry is very god for characterization ( as usual ) and you will have ( as for the protagonist of the novel have to )to get inside the minds of people and you will also have to do the same in going deeply in the main lines of the plot of this good novel ..
C.j Cherry is very able to build performing and interesting aliens with their cultures and worlds ...
If you are interested to find out what it would be like to interact with sentients species ....
Those foreigners novels and most of this author novels then .. will greatly satisfy you ..
She is not very well known in France ( now days ) but you should explore the foreigner universe and the union-alliance universe ...
They are all made of great novels and most of them are among the best works in world building examples in all the sf field ..
She is my favorite SF novelist ..
Many of her novels have been translated in French ..
just have a look on those translations in case you are not very eager to read in English ...
Most of them are very good translations ...
I just love ( a lot ) her sf works and I'm quite sure you will love and enjoy most of her works ...
