PROTECTOR Foreigner Sequence 5, Book 5

Narrator Daniel Thomas May navigates Cherryh's complicated science-fiction universe with aplomb. He introduces the intricate political world that threatens to impinge on noble Cajeiri's upcoming eighth birthday plans. Distinct accents and voices help listeners follow Cajeiri, his extended family, and human Bren Cameron. May uses an emotionally controlled style to differentiate the Atevi aliens and humans. This formal style sets off the world building. Unedited breathing noises are occasionally distracting. May complements Cherryh's dense science fiction with a commanding performance.
