Title: non defender
Review: Cherryh's strength has been her characters, as much as her plots. In the Foreigner universe, she has created some of her strongest.But the latest release, Defender, both plot and characters have received short shrift. In fact, at the end of this short book (it has 314 pages, Precursor had 438), the characters and the situation are almost identical. There is little interaction between Bren and Banichi, Jago, and Ilisidi. With a little editing, this book could have been 2 or 3 chapters of the next book. If you miss this one, don't worry. Nothing happened.
