Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Bren Cameron has the job of the paidhi, the sole point of contact between the human Lost Colony on the island of Mospheria and the alien atevi on whose planet the humans are living. While Bren enjoys being a diplomat/translator/linguist/xenologist, it's not what you'd call an exciting job. Some excitement is added when the aiji, the head of the atevi government, gives him a handgun as a gift, even though it's highly illegal for a human to posses a gun. It then gets much more exciting when, a week later, an assassin breaks into his apartment and he's forced to use the handgun in self defense. The attack leaves Bren baffled, since although the are plenty of conservative atevi who hate humans enough to want him dead, the conservative atevi have always hated humans, but no one has tried to have the paidhi killed in the two hundred years that the office has existed. And thus begins C. J. Cherryh's book series on inter-species politics and intrigue. |
