The human-alien tensions that marked Foreigner and Invader peak in this sophisticated conclusion to the trilogy....Through her hallmark ability to craft nonhuman languages as the basis for alluring alien psychologies, Cherryh superbly resolves this epic trilogy's multifaceted conflicts, dramatizing again the idea that people can't truly know their own language - nor others, nor themselves - until they master at least one other tongue.

Kirkus Reviews has a favorable review of Inheritor in the Feb. 15, 1996 issue. The reviewer seems uncertain whether to describe this as the third in a trilogy or series, but concludes that it is "a familiar yet still impressive and more or less self-contained swirl of political intrigue, filtered through a memorably alien consciousness." forwardes by Robin Gault
