The ninth novel in Cherryh’s Foreigner space opera series, a groundbreaking tale of first contact and its consequences…

In the aftermath of civil war, the world of the atevi is still perilously unstable. Tabini-aiji, powerful ruler of the Western Association, along with his son and heir Cajeiri, and his human paidhi, Bren Cameron, have returned to the seat of power. The usurper, Murini, has escaped to the lands of his supporters, but the danger these rebels pose is far from over. Ilisidi, Tabini's grandmother, the aiji-dowager, has returned to her ancient castle in the East, for she has powerful ties in the lands of the rebels, and she seeks to muster whatever support for her grandson that she can from among those enemy strongholds.

Review of 'Deliverer' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This is actually a three and a half-star review, but I'm rounding down because of the first two books of the trilogy and because it's only the second half of the book that really brings something new and interesting and almost makes me desire more. Nevertheless I think the only way I'm going to start on the next trilogy is if I forget that these three books made me feel a nine book series is enough for this series.
