Really Good

So far, the best in the series. Each book seems to get better and better.

Manima Comes Into Her Own

If you could sum up Explorer in three words, what would they be?

It's About Time.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ilisidi and Bren Cameron. Illisidi comes into her own in this story, showing how life experience can very often save a potentially fatal situation, and Bren comes through with his ability to finesse communications between differing species.

Have you listened to any of Daniel Thomas May’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Only in other books of this series and every one of them was perfectly read by Daniel Thomas May.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yup.

Any additional comments?

In a time where being old is akin to being superfluous and powerless, it's a great pleasure to remember what role our most life-experienced members of society have to offer those just getting their start. This story brings Bren, and the Atevi through perilous times and circumstance based on the actions of the youngest and eldest members of their society. A story of self-discipline, loyalty and open-mindedness that can't be put down until the end.

Best so Far

Best book in the series so far. Well paced, interesting, with several tense action sequences.

Love The Continued Saga of Humanity Found in The Most Unique of Settings

Each Book only adds more and more in the world and constant character building that Cherryh is known for…with excellent results! It’s a thinking man’s SciFi with metered pacing necessary to the overall Foreigner series. I have Loved it for decades.

Entire series incredible

I can't speak highly enough of the amazing writing of CJ Cherryh. Incredibly detailed and mesmerising. Wonderful characters and intelligent story.

All of these things are only enhanced by the magnificent narration by Daniel Thomas May - he is simply superb.
