Title: Not bad, but not the best in the series.
Review: The publisher really [messed]... up by blowing what should have been the big secret of the novel on the cover blurb and letting the reader know that there are still humans alive on the 2nd Station. Starting the book already knowing that fact put the reader in an akward position reguarding the plot.Defender is not up to the high standards of the previous books in the Foreigner series. There is a feeling here that the Characters, and maybe the author, are treading water. Still Cherryh treading water is better that a lot of other writers on their best day. I hope this does not mean that Ms. Cherryh is loosing interest in this universe. I'll be interested to see where the story goes from here.
