Foreigner
Foreigner: (10th Anniversary Edition) | C. J. Cherryh
3 posts | 12 read | 10 to read
The first book in C.J. Cherryh's eponymous series, Foreigner begins an epic tale of the survivors of a lost spacecraft who crash-land on a planet inhabited by a hostile, sentient alien race. From its beginnings as a human-alien story of first contact, the Foreigner series has become a true science fiction odyssey, following a civilization from the age of steam through early space flight to confrontations with other alien species in distant sectors of space. From the Paperback edition.

1. I speak English (my first language is Italian) and l can get my way around German (trying to get better at it. I love German). I understand a bit of Spanish because it's very similar to my dialect.
2. I don't travel all that much, but there are languages l'd like to learn. One is Irish (always loved its sound) and another is Lakota (learned a few words/expressions for a writing project and fell in love with it)

Cathythoughts I don‘t think I‘ve ever heard Lakota .... I must investigate 👍🏻♥️ 5y
Chrissyreadit Lakota ❤️❤️❤️❤️I love that Pine Ridge has a College on the Rez and Lakota is the primary language spoken there. 5y
TheSpineView I am glad to know that Naive American languages are not being lots 5y

Here, humans had to remember that the universe was far wider than their little nest of stars--that, in the universe at large, silence was always more than the noisiest shout of life.

bnp I love Cherryh & this series. 7y

Pickpick

Interesting broad sci-fi universe that narrows in on a small set of characters and a specific stage of political theater. Slows down a bit too much in the middle IMO, but a fun read.
