Series: Foreigner #1 This audiobook was a good way to revisit the Foreigner universe. I’m much further along in the series in my regular reading and I haven’t read this book since I was a teenager, so a lot of it felt new-ish. I mean, I remember roughly what happened in the series, but not necessa...
At the beginning of this book, the starship Phoenix accidentally ends up lost in space, far away from its original destination and anywhere else familiar to its human crew.
