Story
Alpha Station, orbiting the world of the atevi, has taken aboard 5,000 human refugees from a destroyed station in a distant sector of space. With supplies and housing stretched to the breaking point, it is clear that the refugees must be relocated down to the planet, and soon. But not to the atevi mainland, rather to the territory reserved for humans: the island of Mospheira. Tabini-aiji, the powerful political head of the atevi, tasks his brilliant human diplomat, Bren Cameron, to negotiate with the Mospheiran government.

Pell was just the first living planet. Then came Cyteen, and later others, and a new and frighteningly different society grew in the farther reaches of space. The importance of Earth faded and the Company reaped ever smaller profits as the economic focus of space turned outward. But the powerful Earth Fleet was still a presence in the Beyond, and Pell Station was to become the last stronghold in a titanic struggle between the vast, dynamic forces of the rebel Union and those who defended Earth's last, desperate grasp for the stars.

Story
They named him Thorn. They told him he was of their people, although he was so different. He was ugly in their eyes, strange, sleek-skinned instead of furred, clawless, different. Yet he was of their power class: judge-warriors, the elite, the fighters, the defenders. Thorn knew that his difference was somehow very important - but not important enough to prevent murderous conspiracies against him, against his protector, against his caste, and perhaps against the peace of the world. But when Thorn finally learned what his true role in life was to be, that the future of two worlds might hinge on him, then he had to stand alone to justify his very existence

It was that transitional time of the world when man first brought the clang of iron and the reek of smoke to the lands which before had echoed only with fairy voices. In that dawn of man and death of magic, there yet remained one last untouched place - the small forest of Ealdwood - which kept the magic intact and protected the old ways. And there was one who dwelt there, Arafel the Sidhe, who had more pride and love of the world as it used to be than any of her kind.

Captain Ivan Vorpatril is happy with his relatively uneventful bachelor's life as a staff officer to a Barrayaran admiral. Cousin to imperial troubleshooter Miles Vorkosigan, Ivan is not far down the hereditary list for the emperorship. Thankfully, new heirs have directed that headache elsewhere, leaving Ivan to enjoy his life on Komarr, far from the Byzantine court politics of his home system. But when an old friend in Barrayaran intelligence asks Ivan to protect an attractive young woman who may be on the hit list of a criminal syndicate, his chivalrous nature takes over. It seems danger and adventure have once more found Captain Vorpatril.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Sassinak was 12 when the raiders came. That made her just the right age: old enough to be used, young enough to be broken. Or so the slavers thought. But Sassy turned out to be a little different from your typical slave girl. Maybe it was her unusual physical strength. Maybe it was her friendship with the captured Fleet crewman. Maybe it was her spirit. Whatever it was, it wouldn’t let her resign herself to the life of a slave. She bided her time, watched for her moment. Finally it came, and she escaped. But that was only the beginning for Sassinak.

Publisher's Summary
It's been a year of upheaval since Bren Cameron's return from space - a year since he and the aiji-dowager, one of his most powerful atevi allies, returned home from their two-year interstellar mission to find the government overthrown and their world in chaos. Now, at last, things on the atevi world seem to be on the right track, and Bren hopes that life may soon become much more tranquil. But something is coming, quietly, stealthily - just the first ominous twinkle of a new star in the heavens....

For me, the best in the series
It amazes me how I can be entirely engrossed in each of the Foreigner series books even when nothing much (as viewed from the outside) actually happens. And when it does. Wow! This book had a major unexpected twist that turned the series on its head, and made it even more interesting. No spoilers here, but I loved it.
Cherryh's ability to get so deeply into the minds of the characters can sometimes be difficult to endure. But as someone with a busy mind I can only say that it's familiar to my own thought processes and I've gotten to know the workings of the characters well. And there's always something new to learn and surprises here and there. They aren't unpredictable, they're complex.
As always, Daniel Thomas May narrates the story perfectly. He delivers each character well, and considering he has 3 different species' words to deliver he does it superbly and that's quite an accomplishment.
Now I'm stuck waiting for the next in the series!

Good story, fresh twist, still loving the series!
What made the experience of listening to Visitor the most enjoyable?
I have loved this series since the beginning many years ago. Listening/reading the first novel Foreigner, from so long ago, it's now easier to pick out the "dated" references to technology no longer relevant. I love how the newer novels subtly update this. This installment also has a twist that has me still looking forward to the next book, even after all these years.
For those that said their downloads seemed to be missing parts of chapters, my download was complete and free from glitches. I purchased and downloaded 07Apr16. Mr. May's narration was as excellent as ever.

Complex, richly imagined political novel
Visitor is the most recent novel in Cherryh's fascinating story of politics and cultural clash in interstellar space. By now, the reader is art home with a wide cast of characters, factions, communities of interest and personalities. Developments in Visitor are unexpected and compelling -- but don't start here. The back story is essential, the personalities of major and minor characters have been painstakingly developed over time, and the entire series is worthy of time, credits and attention. There is a good bit of intellectual speculation -- a virtue, in my view.

My favorite in the series so far
Foreigner is hands down one of my favorite science fiction series. So much subtlety, so much of a character journey across the course of the books. I wasn't sure how Cherryh would top the other books, but Visitor blew me away. This book brings everything together and shoots it off in a new direction that I never saw coming. I can't wait for the next one!
Narration, as always, was superb. If you're this far into the series, I probably don't even need to recommend this book, but if you need an extra nudge - go read it. Read it now. You won't regret it!

Narrator not my preferred style
But CJ Cherryh is still my favorite author. The issue I had with the narrator was his deep radio voice and his terrible female voices. I'll probably read the next book rather than listen. I'm sure many people are happy with this narrator and usually I have no problems with imperfect narration but this gentleman needs to work on his female voices and try something a little more subtle.

Another awesome chapter in the Foreigner Saga.
Once again Cherryh gives us a great story from the Foreigner Universe. My only issue is that she is still "filling" space with repetition after repetition of the same background information throughout the book. I have read every book in the series, one short chapter at the beginning giving a brief summary to this point is enough, even for people reading this book as their first.

Missing Sections(update)
I have downloaded this both through the audible app and through the audible website and both downloads are missing sections from the book. Most notably this includes the last two chapters of the book.
This is very disappointing. I hope this is simply a minor issue that will be resolved as up to this point I was enjoying the book immensely.
Edit: I have listened to this book again a year later and the missing chapters issue has been resolved.

Chapter 20 corrupted. Is part of the story missing
Not impressed. Chapter 20 is corrupted, won't play past Ch 20 + 4 mins on my iPhone. When played on Audible PC software (Widget, Win 10) it seems like some of the story has been skipped.
Quick search on internet shows many other Audible customers have the same problem with the same file, many also report the story seems to have skipped a bit.

Warning: Missing Chapters = Incoherent Audiobook
I always enjoy the audiobooks from this series, unfortunately, in this case a huge chunk of the story is missing. It cuts out in the middle of chapter 20 and jumps ahead, skipping (as far as I can tell) multiple chapters and key events. The result is pretty much completely incoherent.
Don't bother listening until reviews suggest the problem is fixed
