C.J. Cherryh, one of the most prolific and acclaimed SF writers in the world, 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 race.

Great Story. Too much Rehash

No need to rehash basics this far into the series. Needs to be revised.

Narrator

Daniel Thomas May is a superior narrator. I love this series. I read it in book form before I got audible. But Daniel Thomas really makes it come alive.

another good book in the series

this particular story has a lot of back history and inner dialogue of the main character which is not for everyone I enjoyed it because I have read all the books in the series and I identify with this character in particular Bren.... if someone's lived abroad in immersed himself in a second language they'll really understand it and the same thing I think happens with your compassion level of someone immigrating here and trying to learn a new language....

great 3rd series of books

This is the 3rd group of books and if you have gotten this far you will probably be continuing to the end of these books. As I have said in all of these reviews this is a review of the 3 books in the sequence since they all are really 1 book.

This is something you could have figured out was going to happen if you read the last set of books, they go to meet aliens that might or might not be hostile as they did probably attack the space station there then upon returning to the planet you are wondering what has happened and it plays out pretty nicely as things start getting taken back under control but there are all sorts of things going wrong.

These stories are great and they all take place in the same world but all the sequences are different sets of stories and you get the sense that they all could go on for different generations of the characters in there, I hope future books will do this.

A wonderfully engaging series

Where does Destroyer rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

As a stand alone book it is good but as part of the series it is great.

What about Daniel May’s performance did you like?

Daniel's performance is among the best I have experienced. I will look for other books where his talent can be enjoyed.

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

If I had the time I would enjoy doing so.

Any additional comments?

This is the 7th book in the series and I have just finished the 8th and am about to start the 9th. I am very much engaged in the series.

Don’t bother

Ridiculous circular thinking. Hated the silly back and forth verbiage. What happened to C J?
