It's difficult to sum up this book in a simple review. C.J Cherryh
is expert at writing characters whose thought patterns are not
typical of regular humans, whether they be aliens as in her
Foreigner series, or the Azi in this one.
The ethical questions that this book can raise are very
interesting, having to do with both simple cloning and the
psychogenesis that is the central theme of the novel.
This collected volume is an excellent way to experience the whole
series.
