The unexpected return of the \u003ci\u003ePhoenix \u003c\/i\u003ehas forever changed the lives of both \u003ci\u003eatevi \u003c\/i\u003eand Mospheirans, for over the ensuing decade, the captains of the \u003ci\u003ePhoenix \u003c\/i\u003ehave brought both species into space. Their motivation seemed simple: Reunion Station, a human station in another sector of space, had been destroyed by aliens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But on his deathbed, the senior captain of the \u003ci\u003ePhoenix \u003c\/i\u003eadmits that he lied to the crew—that Reunion was merely damaged, not destroyed, and many people may have survived.

Trapped in a distant star system with little fuel left, facing a bellicose alien ship, how can Bren help to avoid interspecies war when the notoriously secretive Pilot's Guild aboard Reunion Station refuse to cooperate, and may have kept the inhabitants of their own station ignorant of their true situation?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The long-running \u003ci\u003eForeigner \u003c\/i\u003eseries can also be enjoyed by more casual genre readers in sub-trilogy installments. \u003ci\u003eExplorer \u003c\/i\u003eis the 6th \u003ci\u003eForeigner \u003c\/i\u003enovel, and the 3rd book in the second subtrilogy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eC.
