In the climactic third novel of the Founding of the Commonwealth, bestselling author Alan Dean Foster continues the spectacular space adventure that traces the perilous early years of this remarkable universe. . . .
From the beginning, contact between humankind and the thranx has been tenuous at best. Nearly a century after first contact, the likelihood of closer human/thranx relations is as far away as ever. Yet idealists on both sides refuse to surrender their dreams of achieving an alliance. Among the most dedicated are a minor diplomat named Fanielle Anjou and her thranx counterpart. Others intend to make sure such a liaison never comes to pass . . . by any means necessary.
For these xenophobes, the upcoming Humanx Inter-Cultural Fair, the first wholly cross-species event, is a hideous confirmation of their worst fears. Zealots on both sides vow it will be the last of its kind, no matter how many must die. In the coming conflagration Fanielle holds the key to triumph, but only if she can outwit those desperate to silence her forever. . . .

Diuturnity's Dawn (Founding of the Commonwealth Series #3)
This book had a lot of unexpected plot twists. I did not expect things to turn out the way they did. I mean, of course I knew the Commonwealth would be founded, but other than that, the course of events was very unexpected. I guess that's a good thing, you don't want books to be too predictable. But some things just shocked and appalled me!
Comagrave, for example. I did not expect that whole archeological team to get wiped out. Especially after they had just made an amazing discovery that left more questions than it answered. Left a giant loose end in the plot there he did. Anyway, I just couldn't believe what Pilwandepat did! I was beginning to really like his character, and then he goes off and does something like that, provoking the Aan into killing him and all his colleagues! I was dumbfounded. I actually felt sorry for the Aan. They were totally set up and framed.
And then there's Dawn. Actually, that went down mostly as I expected, but I was surprised when the 2 United Church missionaries were killed. They shouldn't even have been there when the police tried to apprehend the last 2 terrorists. What police anywhere would allow civilians to tag along while they make an arrest of some dangerous terrorists? That made no sense. However I can see how them being martyred would help along the process of forming the Commonwealth.
I've got more to say. I'll finish this tomorrow.
