High stake intrigue

The time has come for the indigenous Atevi to join the newly arrived human contingent in space - and a new arena for intrigue opens up. Tea is consumed. Fruit candy becomes important.

The plot is fast paced and fun, and full of the memorable quirks CJ Cherry is so brilliant at. The performance is fair, different voices is not the performer’s strong suit.
