Foreigner Reread: Explorer

I was diverted for a bit from my Foreigner reread, but I'm back at it now and just finished Explorer

I continue to be amazed at how fast this series moves; I always misrember just how few books it takes to cover so many major plot changes; by book 5 we were in space and by book 6 Reunion Station has been emptied!

Onward to Destroyer next!
