cherryh's foreigner saga
4 Oct 2006 02:36 pmthis is the chapter when jase's true identity comes out, his relationship with yolanda, and the impetus to the plot for the second trilogy: the second set of aliens. in foreign territory, jase tells bren this in the bathroom, with jago at his back - still only the day after the first-time sex scene (which is significant and memorable but not, however, significantly sexy) - and they tell ilisidi, and request to set up a backup government and assign yolanda to her protection.
i hadn't really forgotten this plot, although maybe a little of the sheer weight of confluence of circumstances here - but even so, and with all the times i've read this, i start getting chills at the beginning of this chapter. these books are good.
