Books similar to C.J. Cherryh's Foreigner series?
I just picked up a short story that was a prequel to Foreigner. I know she has another book in the series coming out in April. Can anyone recommend any books that have similar themes? When there's a fight scene, I find that I want them to get to the "good stuff", which is, for me, the cultural and linguistic differences.

I'll probably give these a try. I'm currently working my way through the entire Foreigner series, and enjoying it a lot.

Good recommendation, thanks! Not as complex as Foreigner, but I liked the first book a lot and looking forward to reading the rest :-)

Things get more involved as the series progresses.
