I also believe a writer owes a reader a book that has more than general despair to spread about: I write about clever, determined people who don't put up with situations, not for long, anyway: people who find solutions inspire me. We've never faced it fully armed with what we now know, and if we play our cards right, we'll use it as a technological springboard and carry on in very interesting ways. I believe in the future: I'm an optimist for good reason-I've studied a lot of history, in which, yes, there is climate change, and our species has been through it. I have a background in Mediterranean archaeology, Latin, Greek, that sort of thing my hobbies are travel, photography, planetary geology, physics, pond-building for koi.I run a marine tank, can plumb most anything, and I figure-skate. They are mentioned in Precursor (I think) and that seems to be that.I've written sf and fantasy for publication since 1975.but I've written a lot longer than that. What happened to the 6 other Taylor’s Children that Ramirez activated. So, yes, I have sort of an idea of geologic history as well as political history. There is no really convenient land off the East coast to encourage much beyond coast-hugging fishermen, but there is off the Marid coast, and of course there was Mospheira and Crescent Island before the humans landed, off the west. Geologically speaking, the Continent is assembled out of at least 3 big pieces, former independent landmasses having rammed together from the south and east, hence the modest mountain range separating the Marid from the rest of the continent, and the really impressive range separating the East from the rest of the continent. Cherryh has a gift for conveying the aloneness of the individual, and that gift.
There’s some ‘new’ land probably along an oceanic ridge clear to the far side of the planet, and the Southern Isle below the Marid is about as large as Mospheira, which is about half the size of Australia, as I view it. Foreigner is a novel of first contact told in trademark C.J. The first book in C.J.Cherryhs eponymous series, Foreigner begins an epic tale of the survivors of a lost spacecraft who crash-land on a planet inhabited. Cherryh, one of the most prolific and acclaimed science fiction writers in the world, now delivers the seventh book in her Foreigner series and the first book in the new Foreigner trilogy-the epic tale of the survivors of a lost spacecraft who crash-land on a planet inhabited by a hostile, sentient. * Defender (2001) - Locus SF Award nominee, 2002 The first book in the new Foreigner trilogy from the Hugo Award-winning author. The twelfth novel in Cherryh’s Foreigner space opera series, a groundbreaking tale of first contact and its consequences In the wake of civil war, Bren Cameron, the brilliant human diplomat of the alien atevi civilization, has left the capital and sought refuge at his country estate, Najida. * Invader (1995) - Locus SF Award nominee, 1996 * Foreigner (1994) - Locus SF Award nominee, 1995
